A trusted bridge between manufacturers and the Congolese market
LiftUp Global Trade was founded by Richard A. Sasa to build a trusted bridge between international manufacturers and the growing Congolese and African markets. Building on more than a decade of experience in human resources, public administration, nonprofit leadership, and international business development across the DRC, the United States, and Italy, Richard created LiftUp to turn international relationships into practical economic opportunities.
Our vision is to connect quality American, Italian, and African manufacturers with reliable buyers, distributors, institutions, and business partners in the DRC and beyond. We believe that trade should go beyond importing and selling products; it should create lasting partnerships, strengthen local businesses, expand access to quality products, and contribute to economic development and job creation.
For manufacturers, LiftUp is a committed local business development and market-entry partner that understands the Congolese environment. For Congolese buyers, we stand for quality, transparency, integrity, reliability, and long-term value.
