Donate NowWe claim rural areas with equal opportunities for all
Congo rural women and girls are at the heart of communities, and they make substantial contribution to the country agricultural production, food security and nutrition, land and natural resource management, and building climate resilience.
But they don’t always have equal opportunities as men. They lack equal access to productive resources and assets, public services, such as education and health care, and infrastructure, including water and sanitation, while much of their labour remains invisible and unpaid, even as their workloads become increasingly heavy due to the out-migration of men. Our mission is to give rural women the opportunity to credit, modern agriculture and farm.

As a charity we want to play our part in the Ukrainian emergency crisis.
We are raising money to connect with migrants trying to leave Ukraine and get them where they want to go.
We want to help as much or as little as we can. Your donations will help get a family on the train or reallocate them. Most of those who immigrated to Ukraine are still stuck in the country, and the majority are students, women and children trying to get their governments to act and get them to safety, but they have not succeeded so far.
They need to get to Medyka (the Ukrainian and Poland Border) or the borders of Romania, Moldova and Germany to get in touch with their embassies.
We work with volunteers in Medyka to identify those indeed of train tickets. Together, we are a community of support for those fleeing the war in Ukraine. We all want to help as quickly as possible.
Please donate what you can now!
