How You Can Help
Enough is enough. Change is possible - if we act.
Nearly six million people have lost their lives and hundreds of thousands of women have been raped in eastern Congo. Competition over mineral resources has become one of the primary incentives for warring parties to continue fighting. These resources – gold, tin, tungsten, and tantalum – are used in our electronics products, directly connecting us to the conflict. This gives us enormous leverage to demand change.
Congo is not hopeless. There are solutions. Together, we can stop the violence.
