Less than a year following IDEO.org’s engagement with the American Refugee Committee (ARC), we’re excited to see the social enterprise up and running in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), with over 500 individuals receiving treatment at Asili’s clinic and 600 more participating in the agriculture program. 

IDEO.org Communications Designer, Stacy Barnes, explains the pieces that her team created in order to design a social enterprise zone with the American Refugee Committee (ARC), addressing improved health for communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

Coming up with a name for a social enterprise bringing health, water, and nutrition to communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo turned out to be no easy task for Shalu Umapathy and her IDEO.org team.
