Training and education
Democratic Republic of Congo’s pathway to education system transformation, we are is building on progress and lessons learned to transform its education system and improve learning for more children.
Environmental education
In D.R. Congo, environmental degradation remains visible even though the primary school curriculum includes Environmental Education (EE) as a subject to be taught to school children.
New Market Opportunities
The energy sector has a huge potential for renewable energy, including hydropower & solar. This potential in the DR Congo could generate 100,000 MW of hydropower. We have ongoing projects working towards this goal.
Empowering the people of the Democratic republic of Congo, Africa ,Sponsoring displaced families -A small gesture goes a long way
SEPCA Foundation was founded as an NGO by Paul Bwiruke Bizimana (DRC), Chris Theobald (Australia) and Sergio Echeverría (Mexico/Chile) friends who all worked together in Virunga National park. Their goal – to address the issues of poverty and lack of employment opportunities in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Not only do they have a worldwide team of volunteers working remotly but they have established a strong network comprising local officials, NGO representatives, business people and on-the-ground volunteers. SEPCA Foundation coordinates projects, consultation and small commerce based initiatives in the Congo.
HOW WE EMPOWER CHILDREN
We’re working to ensure children, their families and future generations can more easily cope with political unrest, natural disasters and poverty. All things that are prevalent & inevitable in the DR Congo
Children are facing more extreme weather and an increasingly unequal world. Climate-related heatwaves, droughts and flooding destroy crops, livestock, and livelihoods. Millions of families today can’t afford to feed their children or send them to school. Conflict, climate change and cost-of-living are making poverty worse worldwide – especially for children and their families who are forced to leave their homes, which happens constantly in the DR Congo.
Without addressing the climate crisis directly, today’s children will bear the greatest burden, especially those living in the most vulnerable regions in the world.
All children have the right to a social safety net so they can cope with political unrest, natural disasters and poverty. Donate today to support children today and future generations.

MISSION
Our mission is to empower the local people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo through education, training and creation of new marketing opportunities. We are rebuilding the hope and prospects of local Congolese people through sustainable development.
War has plagued the region for years. Recruitment of children to rebel armies is common, as well as child abuse & rape. There have been over 10 million deaths, countless villages destroyed and severe infrastructure breakdown over the last few decades. Despite this, the locals remain strong and positive for a brighter future & we support this strength.
We bet on a better future for our people, because we know they have the courage to change their lives. They just need a helping hand..
SEPCA UK
We are in the process of setting up SEPCA UK as a UK based charity, to support the work being done in the field in the DRC. SEPCA UK’s role supports establishing relationships, finding business partners willing to donate funds, assists with marketing, and coordinating projects on the ground. SEPCA UK establishes commerce channels that draw on profits from western trade & directly support efforts taking place in the DRC.

HOW IT WORKS
Together, we work to make each project self-sustaining, with SEPCA UK no longer being required to financially support ventures at an operational level in the DRC. SEPCA UK continues to fundraise for new projects and initiatives, further fuelling the economic growth and opportunities for the local congolese. The SEPCA Foundation coordinates opportunities, finds the right people, organises funding, and provides all support required to get each business up and running as a self-sustaining enterprise
As we are 100% volunteer based, SEPCA Foundation relies on the generosity of the people and their desire to help change lives.
emergency situation in Goma’s refugee camps
Several refugee camps for internally displaced people on the west side of Goma (the capital of the North Kivu province) were attacked recently. Bombs and exchanges of gunfire between the different armed actors resulted in fatalities, including children, and left more than 30 others injured.
Who will help displaced civilians in Goma
The (DRC) eastern city of Goma is struggling to deal with an influx of internally displaced people (IDPs) from the territories of Masisi, Rutshuru and Nyiragongo in North Kivu province, where M23 rebels control much of the land. Hospitals and sites for internally displaced persons in the region are overloaded.
HOW CAN YOU HELP displaced civilians in Goma
Goma’s previous population was around 1.5 million, but an additional 700,000 people have arrived during the past two years of conflict, including more than 200,000 that have come in recent weeks as the M23 expands its control over an unprecedented amount of territory.

FLASH FLOODS
Flash floods and landslides due to climate change have killed over hundreds of people recently in the DR Congo. That number is rising rapidly as people dig their loved ones out of the rubble. Displaced families are desperately searching for children, mothers, fathers, and the elderly.
We have people on the ground who have been helping the situation with much-needed aid in the form of food and water.
