Upcoming Event - October 8
CD Return is a Congolese Diaspora Returning (CDReturn) Network to provide the Congolese Diaspora with the right tools and instruments to gain visibility, influence, and take steps forward as a change-maker in their country of origin.
Our vision is to empower young people with sufficient means and human capacity to fully achieve their social, professional, and economic development potential.
Our mission is to engage the intellectual, financial, philanthropic, and entrepreneurial capacity of CD (Congolese Diaspora) including their partners in support of economic and social development across DRCongo.
Many Congolese professionals in the Diaspora believe that they are development factors due to their transnational characteristics that enable them to establish relations between Congo and their residents.
