Read bio
Alain is a Congolese lawyer and the founder of World Hope Givers, a local NGO dedicated to safeguarding the women and children of eastern DRC from armed conflict. He met Dr. Nicolas Fesser during the 2019 Ebola outbreak in North Kivu, and the two have worked in close partnership ever since. Alain leads operations on the ground in Goma. When Goma fell in January 2025 he was forced to flee as a refugee, and he returned ahead of his own family because the need was too great to stay away.
