🚨 CRISIS UPDATE: M23 REBELS SEIZE THE CITY OF GOMA

The M23 rebel group has taken control of Goma, forcing hundreds of thousands of families to flee their homes. Children are now facing unimaginable challenges—displaced, unsafe, and without access to education.

The rebels have cut the city’s water and electricity, and food prices are rising.

While some have managed to evacuate, many of the 500+ teachers and 27,000+ students we serve are still trapped in IDP camps or remain in rebel-occupied Goma.

Amid this crisis, we remain committed to supporting those in need. Your help is urgently needed to continue providing aid to our staff, teachers, children, and families affected by the conflict.
