Help Save Lives – Support Children Affected by War

The war in Goma and Eastern DRC has reached a critical point. Thousands of children are displaced, malnourished, and in desperate need of help. Families have lost everything, and the youngest victims are suffering the most. We cannot stand by and watch.

We are launching this Emergency Relief Fund to provide immediate aid to children affected by the ongoing conflict. Your support can provide life-saving resources, restore hope, and help rebuild lives.

Why We Need Your Help Now

The M23 rebel conflict has displaced over 500,000 people, most of them children and women.

Schools have been destroyed, leaving thousands of children without access to education.

Disease outbreaks are worsening due to lack of clean water, food, and medical care.

Many families are sleeping in makeshift shelters or on the streets with no protection.

These children have lost their homes, families, and access to basic needs. They urgently require food, shelter, healthcare, and education to survive.

How Your Donations Will Be Used

Your contributions will go directly to providing:

✅ Emergency Shelter & Supplies – Tents, blankets, clothing, and hygiene kits for displaced children and their families.

✅ Nutritious Meals & Clean Water – Daily meals and safe drinking water to prevent starvation and disease.

✅ Medical Care & Trauma Support – Urgent medical aid, vaccinations, and mental health support for children suffering from war trauma.

✅ Education & School Materials – Temporary learning spaces, books, and supplies to ensure children continue learning.

$25 – Provides food and clean water for a child for two weeks.

$50 – Covers emergency medical treatment for one child.

$100 – Helps shelter a displaced family.

$250+ – Supports education, healthcare, and trauma relief for multiple children.

Our Fundraising Goal: $100,000

To make a real impact, we are aiming to raise $100,000. This will allow us to provide essential aid to thousands of children suffering in Goma and Eastern DRC.

If we exceed our goal, additional funds will expand our emergency efforts and reach more children in need.
