Who we are
The African Great Lakes Consortium is made up of eleven local non-profit organizations working in solidarity to support vulnerable victims of armed conflict and natural disasters. These organizations have taken the initiative to collaborate to contribute to the socio-economic recovery and self-care of vulnerable groups, including orphaned children, women survivors of sexual violence, widows, the disabled, refugees, war-displaced persons, and flood victims.
Our mission is to contribute to the reconstruction of the broken hearts and lives of victims of armed conflicts in the African Great Lakes region by giving them hope to become themselves, capable of working to take care of themselves far from armed conflicts and violence.
Our vision is to live in a peaceful and prosperous Africa.

Much of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo is occupied bythe M23 rebels. This is causing psychosis in Bukavu and Goma because young people are forced to join the rebel army. More than 30,000 refugees in Burundi, thousands of internally displaced people, in Uvira (only in one month, a peak never before reached) to count more than 126 cases of sexual violence and gender-based violence (GBV), committed by armed men, armed groups and thugs (prisoners) released from the Mulunge central prison in Uvira. Another report, investigated from February to May 2025, affecting Fizi , Uvira and Baraka, by women's organizations reports 1,100 cases of serious human rights violations documented. Very noticeable tensions between local communities, mistrust between political parties, fear and traumatic insecurity. In the high and middle plateaus of Fizi, Uvira and Mwenga territories, peace is volatile, insecurity is persistent following daily fighting between local armed groups WAZALENDO supported by the FARDC against the TWIGANEO and ANDROID groups close to M23 sow terror and displacement of populations to foreign countries and neighboring villages; committing summary assassinations, arbitrary arrests and causing thousands of populations to abandon their fields, livestock. Children are forced to cut studies to escape the atrocities, without food and medical care, many suffer from malnutrition and others die of hunger due to lack of food and appropriate health care.
