Mission Statement
Action Kivu partners with ABFEC, a Congolese owned and operated non-profit. We provide direct assistance to survivors of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Eastern Congo through entrepreneurial training and education projects rooted in peace and equality. We advocate community-based initiatives and sustainable solutions developed by members of the Congolese community that provide pathways for them to be agents for peace as they create a thriving society for all. Our entrepreneurial programs and the Congo Peace School are located in Mumosho, a village outside of Bukavu, the capital city of South Kivu, a region of Congo that borders Rwanda.
About This Cause
Led by Congolese community-builder and educator Amani Mataboro, we are dedicated to repairing the damage done by years of violence in this region. We focus on the women and children who are the most at risk and whose security and success will make the biggest impact in their community. Our mission focuses on four complementary initiatives: ENTREPRENEUR TRAINING Providing women a path to equality and financial independence through skills training and the foundation to operate a small business. COMMUNITY FARM Providing an organic farm for women to learn sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry, grow food to feed their families and to sell at the market. CONGO PEACE SCHOOL Providing a quality education, bolstered by peace and nonviolence training, preparing future leaders to change their world. HIV EDUCATION Through canvassing the community to test for HIV, our team provides access to treatment and general family planning. In response to coronavirus and Covid-19, we have pivoted to address the crisis. Please read more on our website: https://www.actionkivu.org/blog/.
