Meet our six law and medical school students starting their second semesters
"As a lawyer, I will advocate, free of charge, for marginalized women and girls and for poor communities in general. Justice in our country belongs to the rich - I will protect the poor." - Mihali, 3rd year law student + TRP Scholar
Diamond rings repurposed for good.
Press
The Ring Project is a non-profit organization that creates a new purpose for diamond and other precious rings - we use the proceeds from the sale of donated rings to fund scholarships to medical and law school for women in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

A ring
Donating a ring can be as powerful for you as for those who benefit from the proceeds. Founder Marirose Piciucco found that the idea of repurposing her ring for the benefit of other women allowed her to move on from the difficulty of her divorce.
Our Mission
EMPOWER
yourself
AMPLIFY
A woman
Buying a TRP certified ring represents a commitment not only to your relationship, but also to a conscientious approach to the welfare of women in the DRC, often cited as the "worst place in the world to be a woman".
