Sponsors: Dan Flynn.
The Monthly Cause for December 2021 is described below in English and in an attached pdf in French.

The Centre Kitumaini (CK) is a non-governmental development organization with an operating license from the Justice Division of South Kivu Province, with a temporary authorization of operation from the Governorate of the Province of South Kivu, and F.92 / 26181 from the Ministry of Justice, Keeper of the Seals and Humans Rights from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Our Goals
The objective of the Centre Kitumaini is to support the well-being and facilitate the emotional recovery of the target population living in peri-urban and rural areas of South Kivu province. These processes of recovery build on the strengths of both individuals and communities. It is about renewing social capital through the consolidation of social cohesion, in a specific post-conflict context.
The different strategies used by the Centre Kitumaini to achieve these aims include:
1. Awareness sessions for conflict victims and survivors, especially women, which assist the physical, psychological, and economic recovery.
2. Special attention to children affected by conflicts with social, moral, and economic support.
3. Development of income generating activities inside each community, primarily through sustainable agriculture.
4. Strategic regional and sub-regional partnerships with other actors for a better coordination and networking action.

Friends are invited to recommend a Monthly Cause for donations. There need to be at least two friends who recommend each Monthly Cause. If one or more of those Friends is actively involved in the organisation concerned (e.g. taking part in activities or projects etc.), Meeting will match the amount donated during the month; this means that the amount sent to the organisation will be doubled.
