Ten Years of Protecting the Rights of the Youngest in the DRC

Democratic Republic of Congo

The second largest country of Africa, full of paradoxes. On one hand, it is rich in natural resources (including cobalt, copper, coltan, crude oil, diamonds, gold); on the other hand, its inhabitants are among the poorest in the world. For decades, the DRC has been suffering from prolonged conflicts that have led to one of the most severe humanitarian crises in the world.

Overview:
  • 15,6 million people – 18% of the population suffer from hunger
  • 3,4 million children under 5 years are acutely malnourished
  • 41,8% million children under 5 years are stunted
  • 63,2% of children below 5 years of age and 41% of women  15-49 years are anemic

On World Children’s Day, we look back on the last 10 years during which the Good Factory has supported young patients at a hospital and nutrition centre in Ntamugenga in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

It has been a remarkable 10 years dedicated to caring for children who face enormous health challenges. We care for children whose basic rights have been repeatedly trampled by violence, hunger and the terror of war. Your support is a beacon of light for kids, guiding them through dark moments and bringing relief when the suffering seems endless.

Today, we would like to thank you for these years of solidarity and generosity, which is embodied in every cent donated. It is thanks to you that we can continue our mission, offering help where it is most needed.

On World Children’s Day, we would like to turn our thoughts and hearts to all children who are struggling with adult problems. It is we adults who can solve them. We strongly encourage you to do some good shopping at the good deeds marketplace – GoodWorks 24/7.

There you will find the opportunity to donate an IV drip, a therapeutic meal or blood for a transfusion to a child, and the entire (!) amount will be donated to help on the spot.

Urgent Help Needed

Save the Pharmacy for the Poorest in Togo

This amount will allow for equipping pharmacy shelves for the first half of the year. Ania and Mateusz will take care of this, and they will fly to Togo in February and fill the shelves with the most essential antibiotics, antimalarial drugs, and pain relievers. The Saoudé Pharmacy has people to save. It cannot succeed without your support.
