The Team
As a group of young energetic individuals who have a love and passion to see the development of Congo, we come together with various ideas to help achieve that goal.
UK Team
Pamela Abiola
I have always been someone that doesn’t just like discussing problems without thinking about solutions, and that’s how Revive Congo was birthed. My Co- Founder and I saw that there was a problem. A high number of young people in Congo are not able to access education, nor be equipped with the skills required for them to enter their desired profession. And that is why we have made it our mission to change the trajectory of these young people through being a part of supporting their schooling, and providing them with skills equipping them to be Congo’s future leaders.
Lakeisha Annang
I grew up very conscious that my life could have been VERY different, that I could have been a young girl in Congo experiencing many barriers! It had always been a deep-rooted desire to do something bring value and do something Congo. At 18, the question - 'What are you waiting for?' was one that I continued to ask myself. At that time, I met my co-founder, with the same vision, and there was birth Revive Congo! I have met so talented and creative young people in Congo, and I desire to be a part of their success stories.
Benie Nzuzi
My name is Benie and I joined the team in 2017. My role is to help make sure we’re communicating with the orphanage on a monthly basis, and are aware of any updates concerning the education and wellbeing of the children Revive Congo is sponsoring the school fees of.
I joined mainly for two reasons - the first being that I wanted to form my own connection to the community. Yes I’m already connected in some way through my family and those around me, but it was important for me to define what that meant for me personally.
The second reason is that I knew I wanted to help make a difference in Congo, but that’s such a broad statement and I didn’t know where/how to begin. Being involved in the charity has reminded me that ‘making a difference’ can be done in such a variety of ways and doesn’t always have to be via a huge scale project.
Christian Katako
I'm a Financial analyst by profession, and an Actor. I joined RC in July 2018 as a fundraising officer, and later joined the finance committee. I have always been passionate about giving back to humanity particularly Congo, where I was born and lived until the age of 12. However I was never exactly sure how to. It wasn't until my cousin had joined RC that I realised this may be the perfect way to realise that passion.
My other passion is football. Having played my whole life I have a wide network of football fanatics. So shortly after joining I lead a football tournament fundraising project in October 2018. Due to its success and popularity amongst the participants we held an even bigger tournament in May 2019, in order to help fund education for orphans from our partnership orphanage in Kinshasa.
Being part of this great team has given me a sense of purpose and a platform to give back to my country. It has enabled me to use the skills and experience I've acquired working in finance as well as my passion in football, to contribute to the development of Congo's brighter future.
Norris Ngwamah
My name is Norris-nouvelle Ngwamah I'm from Congo born on kinshasa. My Dad is from the kasai and my mother bandundu province. I joined Revive Congo because of its vision and the people carrying this vision. I joined because I see myself in the lives of the youth Revive Congo is changing. I joined to give, serve and support.
Nerifa Lukuamusu
My name is Nerifa Lukuamusu and I’m a postgraduate.
I joined Revive Congo because I wanted to give back. I’m passionate about Congo and enjoyed writing about Lumumba during the Cold War era in my master Dissertation. I wanted to make a difference, however small it may be. I was sick and tired of complaining of the state of our country. I’m so happy I found Revive Congo during the summer of 2017 and joined immediately.
I hope to do more in the future to encourage young Congolese to educate themselves about their country and ways they can help.
Priscillia Mudiaki
My name is Priss and I joined Revive Congo in January 2018 in the hope of making a difference in my community at my own level. I have always been seen as someone very sensitive to issues that stop children in Congo from embracing their full potential in their career development. I have focused on helping the ReviveCongo team to use their platform to share those stories and equip the Congolese youth to achieve this goal. A decision I have never regret!

Daniel Niya Bwenge
Je m'appelle Niya Bwenge Daniel et j'ai rejoint Revive Congo en 2023, après avoir été impressionné par leur engagement en faveur du développement du Congo et de la jeunesse congolaise. Diplômé de l'Institut Kasali en électronique industrielle, j'ai toujours eu une passion pour la technologie et son potentiel à transformer des vies.
Actuellement, je poursuis mes études en sciences informatiques à l'Université Révérend Kim, où je m'efforce d'acquérir des compétences qui me permettront de contribuer de manière significative à notre communauté. Mon intérêt pour le développement du Congo et le bien-être des jeunes me pousse à m'engager activement dans des projets qui favorisent l'éducation et l'innovation.
En tant qu'ingénieur, je crois fermement que la technologie peut être un levier puissant pour le progrès. Je suis particulièrement motivé par l'idée d'utiliser mes compétences pour aider à construire un avenir meilleur pour notre pays. Grâce à Revive Congo, j'ai la chance de collaborer avec d'autres jeunes passionnés et de travailler sur des initiatives qui ont un impact positif. Je suis impatient de continuer à apprendre, à grandir et à redonner à ma communauté tout en contribuant à la vision collective de Revive Congo.Candice
Être bénévole à revive congo représente pour moi une opportunité de contribuer à une cause qui me tient à cœur ,le bien-être des enfants démunis. Voici les principales raisons qui me motivent à m'engager . Je crois fermement que chaque enfant mérite une chance. En tant que bénévole, je souhaite apporter mon soutien à ceux qui n'ont pas les mêmes opportunités que moi. Aider ces enfants à surmonter les défis de la pauvreté est une manière pour moi de faire preuve de solidarité.
Travailler avec revive Congo me permet de contribuer directement à l’améliorent la vie des enfants. Que ce soit par l'éducation, la nutrition ou l'accès à des soins de santé, chaque action compte et peut transformer des vies. Le bénévolat est une expérience enrichissante qui m'apporte des compétences nouvelles, des rencontres inoubliables et une meilleure compréhension des réalités sociales. Cela m’aide à grandir en tant qu'individu tout en servant une cause noble.
