Community Solidarity Cooperative
Let us build a strong, caring community together in Kolwezi.
Join our communityTogether, let us turn
savings into hope.
MUGEC is a non-profit community cooperative that federates more than 300 savings groups to fight poverty in Lualaba.
Lives transformed, from neighbor to neighbor
Before being a matter of finances, MUGEC is a story of collective courage and human mutual aid. Hear from those walking alongside us.
Thanks to MUGEC solidarity support, I was able to bring my small business back to life. MUGEC believed in me when no one else did. They not only gave me a financial boost, they surrounded me with advice and respect.

Market gardener and trader, Kapata market
Agricultural support completely transformed my harvests. I was able to obtain healthy seeds at the right time. Today my family eats its fill and I can look to the future with pride.
Papa Jean
Subsistence farmer, Fungurume
Household budget management workshops helped me as much as the financial support itself. I learned to save little by little and grow my activity with peace of mind. I finally feel autonomous.
