HandUp Congo’s Connect for a Cause movie FUN-raiser
Thank you for supporting the HandUp Congo’s Connect for a Cause initiative, raising funds for women and children displaced by the May 2021 Nyiragongo volcano eruption in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo. In addition to your online donation, we held a James Bond movie FUNraiser on December 7.
We are happy to report that more than $3600 was raised. Funds raised have been wired to our Congolese project partners in Goma, Research and Action Group for Peace and Development (GRAPD). They are facilitating the distribution of the micro credit funds, and will provide project implementation support for sustainable livelihoods in the refugee camps, as women and children wait to return to their original neighbourhoods.
If you have any questions about the Democratic Republic of Congo and the volcano, or suggestions for future fundraising activities that can help further our livelihood development efforts, please get in touch!

We wish you and your loved ones a healthy and meaningful holiday season.
From the HandUp Congo team,
