Build a Foundation for Friendship with Your Congolese Neighbors
The Congolese Culture Guide is designed for people like you who are welcoming Congolese newcomers and seeking to support their transition to the United States.
People from the U.S. and the DRC have many incredible similarities we can celebrate. At the same time, our unique personalities and cultural backgrounds create complex differences that can be both enriching and challenging to navigate. We created the Congolese Culture Guide as a resource to help you better understand some key elements of your Congolese friend's culture and to give you a foundation from which to build an effective and mutually enriching relationship.
