Mutual assistance and training in Africa

In 2005, Careplus set up a mutual assistance project in Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This nonprofit project is a natural outgrowth of the company's mission, which involves treating each of its clients with respect and dignity, just like a member of one's own family.
 

Goals of the project

  • Provide health and social services practitioners in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and more particularly in the capital city, Kinshasa, with proper training and appropriate teaching materials.
