Byolenganya Olo Bernoulli was born in the remote village of Mwenga Territory in South Kivu Province, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. From a young age, his life was shaped by the harsh realities of war, ethnic conflict, hunger, and severe illness—experiences that would later fuel his unwavering commitment to supporting vulnerable communities.

At just three years old, Olo was afflicted by ringworm, a condition that left him bald and covered in painful lesions. This visible ailment subjected him to severe discrimination and isolation from his peers and community. Throughout this challenging period, Olo found solace and healing in the care of his grandmother, who provided the love and support he needed to overcome both physical and emotional wounds. Her influence instilled in him a deep sense of resilience and compassion.

By the time he reached 21 in 2016, Olo was determined to ensure that no other child in his community would suffer as he had. This determination led him to found the Community Support Center (CSC-Asbl) in Uvira, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing hope, healing, and empowerment to survivors of conflict, particularly women and children. Later that year, CSC-Asbl was officially registered in South Kivu Province, marking the beginning of a long-term project aimed at supporting those in need across DR Congo.
