In 2021, we built a school in Goma, located on the eastern side of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and it quickly became a place where students were thriving and loving school. Shortly after construction, the nearby volcano erupted, destroying the school. Despite this setback, we didn’t give up. Classes continued in tents, embodying the resilience of the students and our unwavering commitment to education in the face of repeated conflict and hardship.
Today, we are thrilled to share that the classrooms have been rebuilt, and they are even better than before. In war-torn regions like Goma, education is not just a necessity—it’s a lifeline. For children who may face unimaginable challenges, school offers stability, coping mechanisms, and hope for a better future. Students are empowered to become leaders—teachers, school directors, even future prime ministers or presidents—building a brighter path forward for their communities.
