Update

Welcome everyone.
We've recently partnered with home&community, inc. who will be our fiscal sponsor while we're working towards getting our own non-profit status. We're grateful to be working with them and are pleased that we are now able to receive tax deductible donations. Only 3% of your donation goes to the administrative costs of fiscal sponsorship, while the rest goes directly to Action Kivu's work in Congo.
We hope that you'll be generous in your giving as every dollar helps the women and children of eastern Congo. A $40 donation funds the education of a child for an entire school year. A donation of $100 will provide housing, food and supplies for a student at the sewing workshop for a month. A $500 donation will pay the rent at the sewing workshop for 5 months.
The conflict in Congo has been devastating and we're grateful that with your donations we'll be able to help Amani with his important work. You can donate by clicking on the 'donate' button. If you'd like to send a check instead of donating online, please contact us for our mailing address.
We also hope you'll help us spread the word by forwarding this info along to anyone you think might be interested, and please also join us online:
