GASHE

GASHE (Groupe d’action pour sauver l’homme et son environnement) is a leading Congolese NGO based in Equateur Province, DRC. The charity aims to protect the environment and its resources whilst encouraging human development of those who live there, such as forest and indigenous communities. Since the beginning of our partnership in 2012, we have gone from mapping traditional territories which were not yet recognised by law, to securing these lands as official Community Forests - and improving livelihoods and forest protection will be our next step!
