We Welcome You to the Congo

With all our hearts, we very warmly welcome you to the Congo. Us Congolese women suffer from many different problems, caused by rape and war. We do not have anything to do or to say in this dangerous situation. Our survival is trying. We have faith that your arrival will bring joy and allow us new opportunities. Here it is possible to rape a very young girl and even mothers in their own homes. All of this is because of what is going on. Maman Neema has told us about your upcoming trip and we ask you to advocate for us so we can be safe like other mothers in the world.
