It’s All About Congo
“It’s All About Congo” is one of the projects by Naviprojects.
It is a collection of books and animated cartoons in English and French on the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The goal is to tell all the children around the world about the Congo: from its flora and fauna, to its riches and natural beauty it has to offer to the rest of the world.
The books and animated cartoons also aim to contribute and bring funds to different educational and environmental projects in the country.
The first issue is about animals in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world with the highest number of species for almost all organism groups.
The remarkable biodiversity of the Congo forest is home to many endemic species such as the Bonobo and the prestigious Okapi. A high number of the endangered Mountain Gorillas are also found in the East of the country.
More than just books and animated cartoons, “It’s All About Congo” helps children know the basics about the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Two books will be published in this category.
