Motivated by the realization that students in the Congo DRC lack access to English language training for academic and personal pursuits, and recognizing the challenges visitors and tourists face in finding English interpreters in the Eastern Congo DRC, we are committed to addressing this gap. In today's world, English is not just a language but a gateway to science, diplomacy, aviation, computers, international communication, and media.
Empowering individuals with English proficiency opens doors to diverse opportunities and enhances their prospects of securing jobs in multinational companies. We drive positive change in the community by fostering sustainable socio-economic development. We aim to strengthen education, awareness, and conservation initiatives, providing solutions to the challenges outlined above and contributing to a meaningful impact on a global scale.
The inception of our journey dates back to May 29, 2012, when the founder, Mr. Sabuni Jr. Ndulu, envisioned establishing an English Training Center. This Center has since become synonymous with offering free English training to the residents of Fizi territory in South-Kivu province, Democratic Republic of Congo DRC, who have never had the opportunity to attend an English school. Join us in pursuing a lasting impact and making a positive difference.

Admission Test
To enroll in our English training program or computer classes at Sabuni Center, prospective students must undergo in-person placement tests on our campus. These tests assess reading, listening, writing, and speaking skills. The purpose of these tests is twofold: firstly, to gauge the student's proficiency in English, and secondly, to determine the appropriate level for placement based on their capabilities. These tests are crucial in tailoring our educational offerings to each student's needs and strengths.
