Building Orphanage for 50 kids in Congo Fund
Decades of corruption, armed conflict, and lack of investment, combined with the effects of natural disasters and recurrent outbreaks of cholera, measles, and Ebola, have left millions of people in extreme poverty. The country has been in a humanitarian crisis for decades, and the situation is only expected to worsen. We have created this fund to alleviate the suffering of children in the Democratic Republic of Congo. There are approximately 5,000,000 orphans there, and massive need throughout the country. In a nation with a history of post-colonial civil war and a lack of potential for young people, there is an opportunity to help raise solid and educated children who will transform the DRC for the better. This project will accommodate many vulnerable children to offer them well-being and enable them to secure their future and become autonomous.
