Ways to Give
Lucha
Lucha is a civil society organization doing great work to end corruption and exploitation in Congo. I believe we should center Congolese voices—academics and journalists—in the pursuit of longterm change in the country, and Lucha is doing a fantastic job. Donate here.
Goma Actif
Goma Actif runs community-led initiatives to both support long-term solutions and address immediate needs in the refugee camps. Donate here.
Justice Rising
Justice Rising is an educational nonprofit that builds schools in conflict and post-conflict areas in Congo and elsewhere, supporting and cultivating brilliant minds and leaders. Donate here.
