Giving Back Reading Recs for Congo

Our Giving Back Reading Recs provide readers with books that expand their perspectives on global issues from the voices of the people themselves. Proceeds from each sale are donated to respective grass root organizations providing essential humanitarian aid and service on the ground where it matters most.

Review our donation record document for full transparency of our collective impact.

Explore these curated books about The Democratic Republic of Congo by Congolese authors. Due to civil war and the brutal mining of cobalt, which is used to power our electronic devices, Congolese people are dying daily. 

Every month, 20% of all sales of these titles will be donated to Friends of the Congo, a DC-based activism organization that works in partnership with Congolese communities to bring about peaceful and lasting change in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), formerly Zaire.

Thank you for helping us support the people of the Congo.
