Crisis in the Congo - War Against Women
Recently, 60 Minutes reported on the Crisis in Congo and the Epidemic of Rape. While in Congo, they visit Women for Women International's office to get a first-hand look at how our program is addressing the needs of women in Congo and how you are helping.
When we Run for Congo Women, we are sending a simple message: Congolese lives matter. The lives of Congolese women are significant. The lives of Congolese children are precious. They have waited far too long. They are worth our effort. We are running to help. Join us!
Like Angela Ferris - Who ran the Pittsburgh Marathon to helped raise more than $1500 for Run for Congo Women! Read Her Story!
Now, more than ever, the women in Congo need Sponsors. The direct assistance from sponsorship will help them to pay for food, medicine, and other lifesaving needs. Women and children are disproportionally affected in times of crisis like these. More women than ever will need the benefit of a sponsor to rebuild.
Give a woman in the Congo "hope for life in this country torn by war" by contributing to Women for Women International's Congo Program. It will make all the difference in the world.
