Help Ntibonera Foundation Aid Congo's Displaced
Dear friends,
You may or may not know about the ongoing conflict in Eastern Congo. Various armed rebel groups have injured and killed hundreds of innocent Congolese people, as well as left entire communities displaced. Men, women, and children are being forced to leave their homes.
The rebel groups have taken over entire territories, and the number of displaced people groups is increasing daily. Almost 8 million people are internally displaced, Over 500,000 people have fled to neighboring countries to escape the violence.
Over 400,000 children living without primary healthcare and education are in constant peril.
We know we can't save all of Congo, though we would if we could. But with your help, we can serve the Goma- DR Congo refugee community.
Refugee camps or areas often lack basic needs. The living conditions are harsh, especially for traveling families. To be a refugee means living outside or in small, covered tents and constantly moving for safety without any of your necessities and any working opportunities. All of this is on top of the grief and trauma that comes with being forced to escape your home and leave your murdered loved ones for just a chance to live.
But amidst all the lack, fear, and chaos - there is hope.
We have traveled to this region and know the needs of this refugee community. We have seen the children starving of hunger and getting cut from sharp lava rocks due to a lack of proper footwear. The suffering in these camps is unbearable. They need hope, food, clean water, blankets, clothing, and shoes!
The Ntibonera Foundation, in partnership with Focus Congo, a grassroots organization, would like to share the love and hope of Christ by supporting these refugees on the ground and meeting their basic needs.
We're raising $11,500 for this project! Every dollar will go towards collecting and shipping supplies ( 25,000 pairs of shoes, clothes, and medical supplies) as well as purchasing food and providing for the refugees.
Together, let's donate and raise awareness to help those in Displacement camps. Your donation will restore hope!
Thanks so much,
The Ntibonera Foundation
