About Soderu in Virunga

10 Sep 2008

Soderu - Solidarite et Developpement Rural - has been working in Virunga National Park in close collaboration with the Congolese Wildlife Authority and with EU-funded conservation groups, since 2002. Led by construction experts William and Christophe, the French group has overseen the rehabilitation of buildings all over the 8,000km2 park, including housing for Rangers, several patrol posts, and the headquarters of the northern sector in Mutsora and the southern sector in Rumangabo. William oversaw the construction of two EU-funded schools near Mutsora in early 2008, which serve over 1,200 children living adjacent to the park, and in 2010 four additional schools around the Gorilla Sector were also completed with an EU-grant.
