Summary

In war-torn North Kivu, Congo, 80 orphaned children displaced by the M23 conflict struggle without school supplies. Many have lost everything-families, homes, and hope. Your donation provides school bags, books, and stationery, ensuring they continue learning despite hardship. Education is their only escape from poverty and trauma. Together, we can restore their future.

Challenge

Armed conflict and volcanic eruptions in Congo have forced thousands to flee, leaving children orphaned and traumatized. Displaced families in Goma live in camps, unable to afford education. Without school supplies, kids drop out, risking exploitation or recruitment into armed groups. These children-already robbed of childhood-deserve a chance to heal and thrive through learning.

Solution

We distribute school kits (bags, notebooks, pens) to 80 orphans, ensuring they attend class safely. Each kit includes: - 1 durable backpack - 10 notebooks - Pens, pencils, erasers - A hygiene kit (soap, sanitary pads for girls)

Long-Term Impact

Educated children break cycles of poverty. With your help, these 80 kids will gain literacy, confidence, and skills to rebuild Congo. Studies show educated orphans are 75% less likely to face exploitation. Your gift today plants seeds for a peaceful, prosperous future.
