Our Founders
Africa New Day founders Camille and Esther Ntoto did not know what they could do to reverse Congo’s humanitarian crisis. They simply knew they had to do something.
After counseling many victims, they saw greater impact could come by addressing potential perpetrators of these crimes. Programs for leadership training and mentorship were crafted and informed by the Ntoto’s faith and global perspective. A school was established. And Africa New Day was born.
