In support of CED (Compassion for Children in Distress) in Butembo, we have launched a fundraising campaign on Indiegogo.

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/congo-school-for-orphans-project/x/930299

Funds raised will acquire equipment and space to enable sewing production and training at the school.  Older students will be provided essential skills training while donating their labour to produce finished clothing goods for resale.  Finished product will be sold in the thriving Butembo marketplace with proceeds going back to the school.  It will help provide them a means of providing for themselves.
