Who are we? 

Founded in 2004, BEPAD, which stands for the Bureau for the Promotion of Social Actions and Community Development, has been committed since its inception to supporting vulnerable populations in the DRC, with a focus on women’s empowerment, child protection, and sustainable community development. Through its actions, the organization provides concrete solutions tailored to local needs while promoting peace and solidarity.

Our mission

To provide vulnerable Congolese communities with services adapted to their needs and to support both individual and collective development, with a particular focus on women, children, and the elderly.

Our vision

To become a leading humanitarian actor in the DRC through effective, transparent management that delivers rapid and appropriate solutions to meet the needs of local populations.

Our values

The core values of BEPAD are Accountability, Ambition, Collaboration, Creativity, and Integrity. These principles guide the organization in its mission to protect children, ensure their rights to survival and education, and promote lasting changes in their lives.

  • Accountability (Responsibility): The organization is committed to using its resources efficiently to achieve measurable results, while being accountable to children, partners, and donors.

  • Ambition: BEPAD sets high goals to improve the quality of its actions and maximize its impact on children’s lives.

  • Collaboration: Valuing teamwork, diversity, and partnerships is essential to achieving sustainable change.

  • Creativity: The organization embraces new ideas, welcomes change, and takes calculated risks to develop innovative solutions.

  • Integrity: A high standard of honesty and personal conduct is required at all times, without ever compromising the organization’s reputation


our goals

  • Promote the protection and education of children, both girls and boys (formal and non-formal education), including education in emergency settings. Promote a culture of peace, democracy, and the protection of human rights.

  • Promote gender equality and strengthen the participation of young women and girls in the governance of community institutions for endogenous (community-led) development.

  • Facilitate access for women and vulnerable populations to basic social services, including health, education, food security, water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH), environmental protection, and safe shelter.

  • Support young women and vulnerable communities in economic empowerment processes through innovative approaches such as Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA), Income-Generating Activities (IGA), youth champions, women champions, and other community-based initiatives.

  • Mobilize the participation of all community structures by strengthening their capacities and supporting their efforts toward peaceful conflict resolution and harmonious coexistence.
