Everyone is welcome
Gatherings are open to the community and to people from Nijmegen who want to get to know the culture.
About BLB
A Nijmegen foundation by and for the Congolese community
Stichting Bolingo Lisanga Bondeko organises gatherings, passes on Congolese culture and helps people practically find their way in the Netherlands.
Why BLB exists
Stichting Bolingo Lisanga Bondeko (BLB Nijmegen) brings people together around Congolese culture and identity. At the same time, the foundation helps people finding their way in the Netherlands.
In practice, culture and practical support go side by side. BLB organises cultural days, information afternoons and shared meals, among other things. People can also ask questions about learning Dutch, finding work and daily life in the Netherlands.
In this way, BLB Nijmegen offers a place for gatherings, exchange and practical questions.
What BLB does
Help that moves people forward
Support is aimed at whatever helps someone move forward: the language, a job, or knowing how things work here.
Education as a foundation
Learning — from Dutch to knowledge about Congo — creates opportunities and keeps identity strong.
The people behind BLB
BLB is carried by five board members. Each has their own fixed responsibility for the organisation and its activities.
