Fundraising Events
Awareness Campaigns
Our fundraising events bring together supporters and advocates to contribute to our cause. Join us in raising awareness and funds to support women and children in the DRC.
Volunteer Opportunities
Community Engagement
Become a volunteer and help us make a direct impact on the lives of women and children in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. With many hands here in the US we can put our money to work where a very little transforms life for a great many.
Storytime
Broadening Horizons
Storytelling is a favorite activity in Congo. The stories that we hear from our partners are sometimes funny, often heartbreaking, always inspiring. Invite us to bring a storyteller and handcrafts to your event.
Markets
Share the Beautiful Congo Creations
Our Kinshasa partner FEBA produces lovely fabric creations of all kinds: bags of every size, clothing of many kinds, household wares to brighten your home, enchanting dolls, specialty items such as clergy stoles, and more. PLUS a wide range of beautiful jewelry.
​
Invite us to come and set up a holiday - or any day! - market at your event.
Educational Travel
Guided tour of FEBA, DRC
From time to time Elsie (born and reared in Congo) conducts a visit to our partner FEBA in Kinshasa. (Kivu is too dangerous so we cannot visit CENEDI.)
​
Come see these amazing women and girls and children on their own ground and enlarge your horizons and be inspired by hope in the most unexpected places.
Sponsorships
Be a Partner to Success
Sponsor a student or a class and know the satisfaction of seeing a young girl through her vocational training or a 6th grade class of orphans or a 12th grade cohort be able to pay state exam fees. Or provide a sewing machine or laptop or cosmetology materials for a graduate to begin her small business. Or propose your own way to partner with a young person for success.
