Thank you for Breaking the Silence and joining the global movement in support of the Congo.

Please remember to post your event on the Congo Week events calendar so that people in your city can participate in your event. Scroll down to access materials, information and resources for your event.

Friends of Congo is expanding our work with our youth partners inside the Congo in two ways:
1. Broadening the connections among youth networks throughout the Congo
2. Strengthening the ties between our youth partners inside Congo with youth throughout the globe

In the spirit of advancing these efforts, we are enocuraging each participating university or community to raise a minium of $100 during Congo Week to support our organizing efforts inside and outside of the Congo. A special award will be given to the campus or community that raises the most funds. Send us an email at support@congoweek.org for more information.
