Hope for 25 Children in Goma

By VERITE | CORDINATOR

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

To provide 25 orphaned children in Goma with a dignified and hopeful life through:

  • Safe and stable housing
  • Three nutritious meals a day
  • Access to education and school materials
  • Regular medical care and psychological support
  • Recreational and educational activities to foster their personal growth

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

  • 25 orphaned children will have safe shelter, education, and proper care.
  • Reduction in exploitation and malnutrition risks.
  • Gradual reintegration into society through schooling and training.
  • Creation of a sustainable model that can inspire similar initiatives in the region.

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:

  • Housing and infrastructure
  • Food and healthcare
  • Schooling and educational materials
  • Supervision and psychosocial support
  • Project management and monitoring

Through GlobalGiving, every donation will be used transparently and efficiently to ensure a tangible impact on the ground.

Partnership with GlobalGiving

Our collaboration with GlobalGiving is a major asset for this project.
This internationally recognized platform enables us to:

  • Provide global visibility for our initiative.
  • Ensure transparency and accountability in fund management.
  • Create a direct link between donors and beneficiaries, strengthening trust and long-term support.

We firmly believe that, with this partnership, our goal of raising USD 85,000 will be reached to transform the lives of these children.

Today, we call upon your generosity.

Conclusion

With your solidarity, these 25 orphans will grow up in a safe, caring, and hopeful environment.

Together, let’s bring hope back to Goma.
