Personal Bio
John Kadiwaku Ntonta is the founder and president of the Kadiwaku Family Foundation, a nonprofit established in 2018 that works to address the unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in Congo (DRC), promoting their meaningful participation in economic opportunities and fulfillment of human rights. Prior to creating the Foundation, John built extensive expertise in philanthropy, serving as a disability rights and inclusion consultant to numerous local organizations and foundations.
John’s journey to disability rights advocacy has been profoundly shaped by personal experience with war and discrimination. As a young man, he survived an attack that claimed some of his family members’ lives and left him with a disability. This firsthand encounter with discrimination and societal barriers transformed him from a victim into a powerful advocate for peace and inclusion.
