Amid The Ravages Of War,something Good Is Happening At The Drc

Among George Forrest's greatest philosophies in life, is giving back to the people. And this he has done in so many ways, that the people of Katanga and by extension DRC Congo recognize him. "When you give back to the people, they are going to be happy and workers will put in their best for you," he says. No wonder, besides his business acumen, this man has grown to be so successful in his endeavors and has managed to retain his workers for the years he has been at the company.rnMr Forrest is the president and CEO of the George Forrest Group, a company that was first formed by his father, Malta Forrest, in 1922, and which he changed to the current name when he took over complete control of the company 20 years ago. On assuming top leadership of the company the young Forrest brought in new impetus and it has grown into a large conglomerate of companies that deal with range of business including mining and infrastructure development. But money and industry are not the only things the group has been able to achieve. In a land that has lived through crisis after crisis: civil wars, hunger, exploitation, greed from its leaders, corruption and despair, the George Forrest Foundation has come to be a fountain of hope: It has stood the test of time and been there when the people needed it most.
