congo@aflpm.orgBiography
Antoinette Sassou Nguesso is the wife of the president of Congo-Brazzaville. She established the Congo Assistance Foundation (FCA) in 1984 as a non-governmental organization promoting social action in the areas of health, development, education and vocational training aims, and has received international acclaim for its humanitarian efforts. Congolese First Lady Antoinette Sassou Nguesso set up the FCA in 1984 and is still very active in running the foundation today. Working with international partners in the private and public sectors, the FCA works to improve the lives of the people of Congo, particularly the poor and the very young. More than 40% of the population of the Congo is under 14 and nearly half live below the poverty line. The FCA distributes aid to victims of tragedies, trains women to take on senior management roles, and is trying to bring an end to the damaging cultural practice of female genital mutilation. Since 2000, the FCA’s main healthcare projects have focused on the treatment of chronic illnesses, including HIV/AIDS, cancer and heart disease.

This was followed by a series of projects (the Fides Building, Building in Picassoplatz, SBV Training Centre) in which the tension of construction (implemented primarily through particular ways of working with windows and doors) reveal the studio’s focus on plastic and morphological issues.With Italian influences (A. Rossi, G. Grassi), Diener & Diener’s urban projects aim to “give single large, anonymous constructions a metaphysical presence”.
