Seeds of Hope in Eastern DRC

The program creates a web of hope: former militia members become peaceful farmers, survivors of sexual violence build thriving businesses, and teachers supplement their inadequate salaries to continue educating the next generation.

The program's impact extends to building food security and improving nutrition, particularly for women and children. Their work with local farmers has introduced resilient crop varieties and sustainable farming methods that help communities bounce back from natural disasters and climate challenges. Former alcoholic beverage sellers now proudly grow beans. Some participants have even expanded into pig farming, creating new food sources for their communities.
