ELIMU, YOUR AI ASSISTANT
Ask your questions in everyday language to Elimu, the chatbot integrated into the app. Elimu relies exclusively on the text of the Family Code to guide you to the relevant articles and explain their content in simple terms—marriage, divorce, parentage, guardianship, inheritance, adoption, matrimonial property regimes, and much more.
Elimu always cites the articles it uses, with a direct link to their full text within the app.
DATA SOURCE
The text of the Family Code reproduced in this app comes from the official platform of the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) of the DRC: https://cnss.cd.
The CNSS is a public institution responsible for managing the general social security system in the DRC, covering benefits related to occupational risks, family allowances, and retirement pensions.
This application is neither published, managed, nor endorsed by the CNSS (National Social Security Fund): it provides a compilation and digital format (searchable, available for offline viewing) of this source text. If you have any doubts about the accuracy or timeliness of an article, please refer to the Official Gazette of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the authoritative legal source.
