About Wokovuway

Bringing hope, restoring dignity, changing lives.

Helping Hands

"Wokovuway," meaning "to save" in Swahili, is a registered Canadian foundation (16924468 CANADA FONDATION) dedicated to supporting vulnerable individuals affected by wars, natural disasters, and social injustices. Operating in conflict zones like Goma, DRC, we align with the Sustainable Development Goals to foster capacity building and resilience.

We address humanitarian crises through:

  • Health Support: Emergency medical care, mental health counseling, and epidemic prevention.
  • Food Security: Nutritious meals to combat hunger.
  • Shelter: Safe temporary shelters for displaced persons.
  • Education: Learning programs and conflict management training.

With partners and donors, we rebuild harmony and restore hope, one community at a time.
