Makimbilio's mission is to equip, empower and inspire self-sustaining economic, ecological and spiritual prosperity for the people of the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (both refugees in the U.S. and peoples of Fizi, DRC). Our replicable, collaborative model integrates education, finance and market principles to: 1) Foster self-mastery in and teach useable skills to the Eastern Congolese refugees in the U.S., Canada, and the peoples of Fizi, Congo; 2) Develop a sustainable, trans-generational culture and 3) Stabilize a creative society of expanding opportunity and collective well being.
