Congo Family Restoration & You

If you are new to "Love for Congo," we are a group of families whose children are from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). We have big hearts for our children's birth country and the Congolese people, so we love to share great things happening in the DRC and how YOU can be a part of it all.

Due to circumstances out of their control, many children in the Democratic Republic of Congo find themselves without a home or family. This is where Congo Family Restoration steps in.

How is it possible? Through generous donations from people just like you! It's actually pretty incredible to think about the power of money:  That just a few dollars out of your wallet could make a significant impact on one of these vulnerable children in DRC. We're going to be even bolder and ask you to imagine what a sizable donation would look like to these children! $100? $150? Just $200 supports one child for an entire YEAR- giving them access to food, medical care, and education!

Help us reach our goal of raising $1000 for Congo Family Restoration in honor of Adoption Awareness Month by November 28th! That will be enough to financially support the care and education of FIVE children for an entire YEAR! Grab some shirts for the whole family, for your friends, for yourself, or for Christmas gifts. Act quickly as our campaign ends on November 28th!

Youth, Short Sleeve, Ladies & Hoodies Also Available

We'd like to tell you a little bit more about how Congo Family Restoration works.

Violence and poverty have broken ten's of thousands of families apart in DRC. There are so many sad and heartbreaking stories, but it is there, in the midst of tragedy, where God can make beauty from ashes. Congo Family Restoration (CFR) works hard to give orphaned children not just food and shelter, but FAMILY. They use the foster care model to place children in traditional Congolese homes that will love and care for them. They work closely with the faith community to find suitable foster families for children in their program. By working alongside churches, this assures that children also receive spiritual care as well.

But CFR doesn't stop there! Beyond the physical and spiritual care for the children, they go a step further and provide them with an EDUCATION! This opens doors for these children in ways you wouldn't imagine. An education truly gives these children a hope and a future- they can dream about their careers and actually have the knowledge to move forward with pursuing them.

Congo Family Restoration is literally BREAKING the chain of poverty and broken families. They are modeling an example of physical, spiritual, social, and educational well-being for these children and giving the children the tools and experiences necessary to have these things for their own lives moving forward.

Please take a minute to picture the difference between a child growing up on the streets of DRC with no food, education, medical care, or love and a child growing up in a loving home with parents, food, medical care, an education, and the word of God. It takes my breath away personally.
