Justice Rising

Together, we can ensure that children living in war can receive a quality education to create a more peaceful future.

Join us in raising $100,000 to support the implementation of our new quality school framework, SMoLLS, in 30 additional schools across Congo this September!

 
 

WHY EDUCATION

Educating children living in war zones empowers them to break the cycle of war and build a culture of peace.
