Project Congo
Founded 2009 in Dayton, Ohio
Medical care, nutrition, and education to people of Eastern Congo
Project Congo was founded by Dayton physician Dr. Sylvia Esser-Gleason, in response
to the violence, squalor, disease, starvation, and rape ever-present in Goma, termed by
National Geographic “the most dangerous city in the world.”
Project Congo is a US based charity, working to send food, medical equipment,
supplies and medications to eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
“Start by doing the necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the
impossible.” St. Francis of Assisi
