Our Story

East Eagle Foundation is the largest network of disability rights advocates in the Democratic Republic of Congo with more than 2500 members and ambassadors across the country and two representations in Geneva (Switzerland) and New York (United States).

East Eagle Foundation is a nonprofit that is committed to helping with disabilities and their families in DR Congo, especially in war-affected areas, to fulfill their human rights and meet their basic needs. The organization has consultative status to the United Nations (ECOSOC). The organization was officially incorporated in January 2009.

Currently, EEF is active in seven provinces across the country (Kinshasa, Tanganyika, Kongo-Central, North Kivu, South Kivu, Tshopo, and Upper Katanga) and works with the government agencies, local communities, Community-Based and national nonprofit organizations as well as Disabled People Organizations to implement our programs.
