Since 2009 Restore a Child is still working in the Congo, DRC.
We no longer work in Rwanda since the president of the country ordered all orphanages to close.
After more than three decades of conflict and the killing of more than 6 million people in Congo, the president of the USA mediated a peace agreement on June 29, 2025 for millions of people in Congo, DRC, and its neighbor Rwanda.
Photos below were taken during my visit to Goma refugee camp. A few years ago, I traveled in a crowded bus from Tanzania to Kigali, Rwanda where I spent the night at the Conference guest house. Then after crossing almost 900 miles, I arrived at the refugee camp in Goma, East Congo (DRC).
