Empowering 200 women and 100 Kids in Masisi (DRC)

We would like to thank wholeheartedly everyone for your continuous support for our project, which is to empower women's lives and the education of needy children in Masisi (Democratic Republic of Congo).  We are aware that many of you may be experiencing financial difficulties yourselves due to the pandemic, so we do appreciate your generosity, your encouragement, and your willingness to devote your time and your thoughts to the women and children that we are supporting. 

During the last trimester, we were able

1. Provide a Capacity building sessions for the women in the marketing of agricultural products, post-harvest handling, and how to manage finances as they are approaching their graduation, hence developing and implementing a fund-generating activity of their own.

1. Send some gifts and food as we were not able to visit Nyabiondo due to security reasons as we planned to Organize a Christmas ceremony for the children in Nyabiondo during the festive period.
2. Supply farm equipment such as additional boots and hoes other farm inputs for the next cultural season.

For the agricultural season, we planted the soya bean crop as it is a major crop that will help us tackle malnutrition in the younger population in the village.

The “Etat de siege”  or state of the county plus the COVID 19 pandemic made it difficult to do the physical monthly visit.

Nevertheless, we were able to continue undertaking the project and evaluating the progress of the women and the children in Nyabiondo. Foods stocks (rice, maize flour, salt, sugar, porridge flour) and hygienic pads were supplied every beginning of the month.

We were also assessing regularly the project's evolution as well as organizing capacity-building sessions virtually.

We also provided clothes, jackets, shoes, T-shirts, and adults clothes were also provided to the Women.

For this coming semester, we plan on :
