Solutions – Together we are investing in Congolese visionaries and building a global coalition for peace. In three years our holistic model has invested in 8 Congolese leaders and built a coalition of 35 Congressmen, 16 Senators, 200 retailers and over 55,000 whistleblowers.
Falling Whistles is a campaign for peace in Congo
We believe the solutions to Congo’s problems will ultimately come from those living within them. As a result, everything we do in Congo is Congolese envisioned, operated, and led. So far these partnerships have contributed to:
The rehabilitation of 400 street children and former child soldiers in Goma and the Masisi District of North Kivu.
Orthopedic surgeries for 260 disabled children in Rutshuru District of North Kivu.
Domestic production and distribution of 330,000 low-cost malaria treatments, using quinine harvested on Idjwi Island.
Construction of a 159-vendor Peace Market in Mumosho village in South Kivu.
The establishment of South Kivu’s first haircare training school run exclusively for female stylists.
The creation of an innovative SMS-based election monitoring system that generated over 200 real-time reports from citizen-journalists in three provinces.
Trials for rape victims to bring their attackers to justice.
A reconciliation festival bringing together individuals from Burundi, Rwanda and Congo toward the common goal of peace.
In addition to partnering with local visionaries, we also work closely with a wide range of stakeholders in Africa’s Great Lakes region. This includes Western and African diplomats, and technology companies who are working to keep their product supply chain clean. From South Kivu to Capitol Hill, we are working to lay the foundations for lasting peace in Congo.
