Hi, my name is Mike Kiombo. I’m originally from Eastern Congo, and I’m starting this fundraiser to help members of the deaf community who are suffering deeply because of the ongoing war in the region.

Many deaf individuals are currently trapped in areas controlled by the M23 rebel group. They don’t have access to food, clean water, or medical supplies. Most are too afraid to go outside—there’s a real fear of being attacked or killed.

This situation is personal to me. I’ve seen what these people are going through, and it breaks my heart. I’m raising money to provide basic essentials like food, clean water, medicine, and hygiene supplies for deaf children and families who are often overlooked in times of crisis.

I promise to keep everyone who donates updated with real progress. I’ll share photos, videos, and updates about how the funds are being used and where the help is going. Your support will go directly to the people who need it most.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. If you can give—no matter how small—or simply share this with others, it would mean the world to me and to the people we’re trying to help.
