Every program is designed by and for the communities of Goma — delivering measurable, lasting change in the most crisis-affected corners of North Kivu.
In Goma's displacement camps, less than 40% of children have access to any form of schooling. Conflict destroys infrastructure, displaces teachers, and forces families to prioritize survival over education.
Wokovuway builds and rehabilitates schools, trains local teachers, funds scholarships for the most vulnerable children, and provides school supplies — ensuring education continues even in active conflict zones.
Full school fee coverage for 300+ orphaned and displaced children who would otherwise be excluded from schooling.
Certified training programs for local teachers, covering trauma-informed pedagogy and conflict-sensitive education.
New classrooms, roofing, latrines, and learning materials built to resist the climate and conflict conditions of North Kivu.
In the camps surrounding Goma, families walk up to 4 hours daily to collect water — often contaminated. Cholera and waterborne diseases are among the leading causes of child mortality in North Kivu.
We drill wells, install hand pumps, build latrines, and conduct hygiene education — delivering clean, safe water directly into communities and significantly reducing disease transmission.
Deep boreholes providing year-round clean water access in communities where surface water is contaminated by conflict waste.
Latrine construction and waste management infrastructure reducing open defecation and protecting groundwater from contamination.
Community health educators teach handwashing, water treatment, and disease prevention — changing behavior that saves lives long-term.
Healthcare in Goma's camps is near nonexistent. The M23 offensive in 2025 destroyed medical infrastructure and looted WHO, MSF, and ICRC warehouses. Children and mothers bear the greatest burden of this collapse.
Our mobile health clinics bring qualified nurses and doctors directly to displaced families. We provide maternal care, childhood vaccinations, nutritional support for malnourished children, and emergency trauma care.
Prenatal checkups, safe delivery support, and postnatal care for mothers in camps where obstetric emergencies are common.
Therapeutic feeding programs for acutely malnourished children under 5, combined with caregiver education on infant nutrition.
Measles, polio, typhoid, and cholera vaccination campaigns reaching children in the most inaccessible displacement sites.
Women in eastern DRC face extraordinary violence, displacement, and economic exclusion. Sexual violence is systematically used as a weapon of war. Women who survive are often left without income, status, or support.
We run vocational training centers, provide microloans for women entrepreneurs, offer psychosocial support for survivors of gender-based violence, and mentor women into community leadership roles.
Tailoring, soap making, baking, and craft programs equip women with income-generating skills they can use immediately in their communities.
Interest-free microloans help women launch and grow small businesses, supported by financial literacy training and peer mentorship.
Trauma-informed counseling and support groups for survivors of gender-based violence, helping women heal and reclaim their futures.
Whether you donate, volunteer, or partner with us — you become part of the change we're building in Goma.
