Colpofix® - Colpofighters - About the Friends of Monkole Foundation

The D. R. of Congo has a population of more than 77 million inhabitants. Poverty affects 72 % of rural households and 59 % of urban households. Only 28 % of the population has access to hospitals.

This is why the Friends of Monkole Foundation, a young foundation with a spirit of commitment, seeks financial resources to finance the hospital costs of all people in need of health care in África.
