Butoke depends on
your support for its work
As an NGO working in a neglected part of the world, Butoke is reliant on personal contributions and sacrifices from its own members, from the people and communities it supports, and from benefactors overseas, including individuals, non-government organizations, and official donor agencies.
The picture on the right is a testimonial to the work of Dr. Cécile de Sweemer, who co-founded Butoke in collaboration with Dr. Jean Lumbala in 2003. Until she passed away in 2019, Cecile worked tirelessly, donating her time and efforts and the bulk of her pension money, to Butoke. Butoke’s Congolese professional staff work for modest salaries, ranging from $US75 to $US500 per month. |
