How You Can Help
Enough is enough. Change is possible - if we act.
The conflict in eastern Congo is being fueled by a multi-million dollar trade in minerals that go into our electronic products. Over five million people have died as a result, and hundreds of thousands of women have been raped over the past decade. The armed groups perpetuating the violence generate an estimated $183 million each year by trading in four main minerals, the 3Ts and gold.
Congo is not hopeless. There are solutions. Together, we can stop the violence.
