Hi,

As many of us are getting ready for taking a break during the holidays, Xmas and to spend time with family and friends.

There are across the shores people that are affected by our lives and the way we live and accustomed to. Our phones are a daily used and technology we need for personal and professional lives. Our phones need Coltan which is mined by young children and people of Congo in horrific and life threatening situations. We may not be able change our government and how corporations military and tech industry manage this human enslavement. We can do something by supporting charities supporting the people of Congo. Please donate.

Why fundraise for Congo?

The DRCongo is estimated worth 24 trillion US dollars, the world’s richest country with regards to its untapped deposits of raw minerals. Resource: https://globaledge.msu.edu/countries/democratic-republic-of-the-congo/economy

The tech industry, military, massively benefits from its resource Coltan, Cobalt, Copper which directly affects Congolese people and especially children. Resource: @congofriends

Largest loss of life since WW|| an estimated 10 million 1998. Western mineral extraction is controlled by the west by arming training Rwandan and Ugandan Militias. Resource: @chakabars

Currently there are an estimated 6-10 million loss of life, 7 million displaced and 27 million experiencing starvation. Resource: @chakabars

Why fundraise for Palestine?

We rely on our phones to stay in touch with the rest of the world and our loved ones sharing our wins, grief and everything else in between from baking to Tiktok trends and more. We are currently witnessing the horrific loss of life in Palestine. It is a humanitarian crises that has seen 7,000 children losing their lives and overall 11,000 and counting loss of human life. So many international codes have been broken by Israel with the use of white phosphorous, civilian life used as collateral damage and an indiscriminate killing, invasion of an already occupied Palestine seeing 75 years of demolitions of Palestinian homes, looting, taking ancestral land, burning down olive trees resources and destroying livelihoods, living in an apartheid conditions with Israel controlling water, electricity and basic human needs, having a mass illegal settler colony the world has seen and not having any resolve even when the UN has declared that collective punishment and other actions are against International law. Every life is worthy the actions of Hamas on 7th Oct does not justify the current situations in Palestinian. Israel further refused the safe return of hostages after the recent pause of the destruction of Gaza and continue to pillage, dehumanise and ethnically cleanse Gaza and Palestine. #FreePalestine #EndTheGenocide

Why Fundraise for Sudan?

An estimated 5.6 million people have been displaced in Sudan due to conflict.

The former UN 2003 coordinator in Sudan, described what’s happening in Sudan as having “all the characteristics of a genocide”

More than 9000 people have been killed throughout Sudan

up to 53% of the population is classified as food insecure with many relying on aid.

Only 39% of the $1 Billion needed to provide humanitarian assistance for Sudanese refugees has been received.

Every penny counts even something small will go a long way. Please do give generously.

Happy xmas and hope you have a blessed start to 2024. May your intentions of giving or not go a long way to those most in need it's the thought that counts. Stay blessed.

Thank you very much. Jubeda Khatun
