Introduction
In Goma, in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, thousands of children have lost their parents due to ongoing armed conflict and extreme poverty. Left on their own, these children live in precarious conditions without access to food, education, or safe shelter.
In response to this alarming situation, our organization has launched an ambitious humanitarian project aimed at transforming the lives of 25 orphaned children by providing them with food, shelter, healthcare, education, and psychological support.
Thanks to our partnership with GlobalGiving, we are confident that this goal will be achieved with the support of donors from around the world.
Project Objective

This project goes beyond meeting their immediate needs; it aims to restore their confidence, dignity, and hope for the future.
Context and Justification
Goma has long been affected by instability and armed conflict. Children are the first victims — abandoned, without resources or guidance, many are at risk of exploitation or recruitment by armed groups.
Our direct intervention will prevent such tragedies by creating a safe, nurturing environment where they can grow and flourish.
This project follows a sustainable approach: each child will receive ongoing support until they become autonomous, developing essential educational, social, and life skills.
Expected Impact
The impact extends beyond these 25 children — by restoring their hope, we are also helping to build a stronger and more resilient community.
Projected Budget
The total budget for this project is USD 85,000.
This amount will mainly cover:
Through GlobalGiving, every donation will be used transparently and efficiently to ensure a tangible impact on the ground.
