Help Children To Orphanages & Provide Aide to Goma
Donation protected
Thank you for taking the time to read about what we are doing to give back to the people of Congo. We are two individuals, Patricia Orti from Congo, & Kentrello Austin, a Las Vegas native, and we are getting internet to Congo.
Our target is the Kanyaruchinya refugee camp in Goma, North Kivu. The goal was to first provide high speed Internet that is capable of downloading and sharing material, seeds, masa.
We listened to the needs of the nurses and the displaced civilians and what's needed direly is medicine for the sick, feminine care, shoes for the children, donations for materials to build shelters, help building functional toilets, and more urgent care items. The Congo needs people on the ground assisting. Conditions are only worsening during the ongoing conflict. Attention to these categories are needed more sooner than later.
Patricia Orti: for me this project is something personal and spiritual. I was born in Kinsasha in 2001 in the middle of the second Congolese war. There are studies that call it a genocide, others call it the largest holocaust that happened on the African continent, leaving more than 6 million people. Murderers (the ones they were able to identify), for me it was the nightmare that haunts me today. I was left orphaned at a very young age, something like many other children... now that I have the opportunity to help children who are going through same situation that I experienced, I can’t look the other way... Congolese children need us. We have the power to change things! But to move this project forward I will need a little of your help because unity is strength and we need to be united in this project. You can donate what you can so that this project, so special to me, can come to life and save lives.
Remember always :
THE POWER OF THE
PEOPLE IS STRONGER
THAN THE PEOPLE IN
POWER
Kentrello: Life, to me, must be lived with purpose. I've always dreamed of a free Africa and I am destined to make an impact on my home. I feel inspired to help after hearing the stories from others all over Africa from Kenya to Chad and up to the horrifying stories of enslavement, torture, and execution in Libya. I know that helping to heal the heart of Africa, The Democratic Republic of The Congo, is excruciatingly vital to the overall healing of Africa. The Congo is the heart of the Continent and it's all green, no desert breaches the borders, and it is full of wealth yet 6.1 million are displaced and are living in conditions is most of the camps are not sustainable for humans. I help uplift voices from Africa & Sudan on my Tiktok and after I realized I was not hearing their voices. I went searching for victims on the ground and I found them with the help from others and some even reaching out to me. After speaking to and hearing the countless amount of stories from victims, I asked "How can I help" to my colleague @PappyOrion and he said that Congo as well as many other African countries are experiencing a lack of aide and these places need help on the ground. Before I ever spoke to anyone from Congo and Sudan, I said to myself I will come to help and I am very strong about my decision in wanting to help. Now we are here, seeking donations to make sure that the assistance provided is impactful now and in the future. I am ready and I've never been more ready in my life. With concentration and more passion, I can help change and save the world and many lives. I have to do it. My life depends on this destiny. Thank you for listening.
