Story

We need your help to restore essential power and water to Goma to limit further harm and loss of life.

Many of you may not be aware on Sat May 22nd Volcano Nyirangongo erupted taking out 17 villages, cutting off a major travel road. This natural disaster has left millions of people without drinking water and electricity. Hospitals in the area have lost electricity, approx 170 children are missing, the well in which the people get their clean drinking water from has been destroyed leaving them without proper hydration. The potential for Chlorea is real in the Congo, not to mention other diseases if the hospitals electricity is not restored as well as getting them access to clean drinking water.

I hope you will consider donating to this cause and help the people of the DRC get back on their feet.
