What is social development?
Social development involves expanding opportunities for people to gain access to such basic necessities as economic resources, health care services and education through their own active and collective participation.
We can assist you in creating corporate social responsibility or community development programs that will help you ensure constructive engagement with local communities.
HandUp Congo’s projects are varied and responsive to community needs. They include sustainable bee keeping, women’s microfinance, education for Pygmy orphans and health care.
