WHO WE ARE
Who we are
OMOLEMBA INTERNATIONAL (OLI) is an international humanitarian and development organization committed to strengthening the resilience of populations affected by humanitarian crises, disasters, conflicts, displacement and situations of vulnerability.
Founded in France in 2026, OLI was born from a deep conviction: communities affected by crises should not be reduced to their difficulties, but recognized for their ability to rebuild, adapt and become the main actors of their own development.
Our organization works at the intersection of humanitarian action, recovery and sustainable development. We develop integrated solutions that respond to immediate needs while creating the conditions for lasting autonomy and shared prosperity.
The name OMOLEMBA reflects the very essence of our commitment. Inspired by the Tetela language, it evokes the idea of rebuilding the backbone of development. This symbolism expresses our ambition to restore the essential foundations that allow individuals, families and communities to recover sustainably after a crisis.
We believe that crises do not only destroy infrastructure. They weaken the human, social and economic systems that support community life. This is why our approach is based on a holistic vision of human development.
In accordance with its statutes, OMOLEMBA INTERNATIONAL mobilizes a multisectoral approach covering health, education, food security, water, hygiene and sanitation, protection, shelter, logistics, emergency telecommunications, early recovery and humanitarian coordination.
Our strength lies in our ability to connect emergency response with development, assistance with empowerment, and solidarity with lasting impact.
Guided by humanity, solidarity, impartiality, independence, professionalism, transparency, accountability and sustainability, OLI places human dignity at the center of every action.
More than a humanitarian organization, OMOLEMBA INTERNATIONAL aims to be a catalyst for transformation, helping communities move from vulnerability to resilience.
Humanity first. Community at the heart of sustainable development.
