We empower and transform lives through holistic and sustainable approaches
Our initiatives span across two critical regions, each with its unique set of challenges and needs: Eastern DR Congo and the United States of America.
Through these comprehensive programs, we aim to make a substantial impact on the lives of individuals in Eastern DR Congo and refugees in the USA, fostering sustainable development, social equality, and economic empowerment.
In Eastern DR Congo, our focus is on promoting sustainable practices and empowering local communities through a variety of programs:
Sustainable Agriculture: We implement strategies and techniques that enhance agricultural productivity while ensuring environmental sustainability. This not only improves food security but also boosts the local economy.
Sustainable Fishing Practices: Our efforts extend to the fisheries sector, advocating for and teaching methods that prevent overfishing, preserve aquatic ecosystems, and support the livelihoods of local fishing communities.
Orphans and Vulnerable Children Support: In the heart of Eastern Congo, particularly in Fizi and its surrounding regions, our organization has established a dedicated center that focuses on the well-being and development of orphans and vulnerable children. This initiative is rooted in the understanding that such children face unique challenges and require comprehensive support to overcome the adversities of their circumstances.
Sexual Gender-Based Violence Support: We provide medical, legal, and psychological support to SGBV survivors, fostering a safe environment for healing and advocating for prevention.
War Victims Support: Our support for war victims addresses the multifaceted challenges they face, offering rehabilitation for injuries and trauma, alongside depression counseling to tackle psychological impacts. We also assist in rebuilding lives through education and livelihood programs, providing a comprehensive suite of services aimed at holistic recovery and empowerment for affected individuals and families
In the United States, our work is tailored to the needs of refugees, providing them with critical assistance to facilitate their integration and independence:
Job Opportunities: We offer guidance and support in job searching and application processes, helping refugees secure employment and achieve economic self-reliance.
Green Card Application: Our services include assistance with the complex process of applying for permanent residency, enabling refugees to navigate the legal system more effectively.
Driver’s Licenses: Recognizing the importance of mobility, we assist refugees in obtaining driver's licenses, a crucial step towards independence and integration into the community.
Food Stamps: We provide support in accessing food assistance programs, ensuring that refugee families have the necessary resources to maintain a healthy standard of living.
Passport Assistance: We help navigate the process of obtaining or renewing passports, ensuring individuals have the necessary documentation for travel or identification purposes.
Houses: Our programs provide guidance and support in the home-buying process, helping individuals and families to secure their own homes, fostering a sense of permanence and ownership.
Housing and Apartments for Both Buying and Renting: We offer assistance in finding suitable housing options, whether for purchase or rent. This includes helping with the search, understanding contracts, and navigating financial assistance if needed, aiming to ensure that everyone has access to safe, affordable housing tailored to their needs and financial situations.
Mentoring Young People: We guide young refugees to become engaged, responsible citizens, enriching their understanding of civic duties and community participation.
Language Interpretation Services: By breaking down language barriers, we ensure refugees can access necessary services, understand their rights, and engage more fully with their communities.
Funeral Support: We offer compassionate assistance for funeral arrangements, respecting cultural and religious practices, ensuring dignity in times of loss.
