UGEAFI's Mission is to promote a resilient environment for the communities of Kivu in DR Congo and for those of South Sudan.

FFC was founded by our Executive Director, Julienne Lusenge, who has been a lifelong supporter, advocate and champion for womens' rights and peace restoration in the DRC. Originally from eastern DRC, Julienne began her career as a journalist at a community radio station in Bunia between 1979 to 1986, where she hosted cultural programs on issues reflecting the changing social aspects of people's lives, the role of women in public affairs, and peacebuilding. When conflict broke out, Julienne began hearing horrific stories and incidences of sexual violence against women. This motivated her, along with other women, to establish the Solidarity of Women for Peace and Integral Development (SOFEPADI) in 2001, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting all forms of sexual and gender-based violence by providing holistic care and support to survivors, as well as ensuring access to justice for both survivors and those vulnerable to any form of gender-based violence and abuse. Mrs. Lusenge coordinated the national campaign of Congolese women against acts of sexual violence, which was launched in November 2007 in Montreal, Canada. This campaign led to the creation of the Fund for Congolese Women (FFC) later that year, driven by the need for broader advocacy and support for women's rights. FFC's mission is to provide both technical and financial support to women-led grassroot organizations in the DRC, acting as a crucial bridge and proximate fund facility between Congolese women at the frontlines of socio-developmental change and national/international partners and donors. FFC is the first feminist national fund in the DRC and the second on the continent solely dedicated to supporting locally-led women's initiatives. We work across six overlapping pillars: women's economic empowerment, women's political leadership, conflict transformation, sexual and reproductive health, climate justice and environmental protection, and sexual and gender-based violence. So far, FFC has disbursed over $3M to support over 876 projects for women's rights organizations, 65% of which focus on women's leadership and participation in decision-making bodies.

We are committed to investing our potential in solving the problems of education, conflict and integrity, rights, health and poverty faced by the beneficiaries of our actions in our area of action.

Advancing Women in Investing (AWI) is a collaborative of more than 100 first-time and emerging female capital movers investing in emerging and frontier markets. Our long-term goal is to create a movement of change to democratize access to funding and opportunity for female investment vehicles managers (IVMs). Female investment professionals represent only 8% of all senior positions in venture capital and private equity firms in Africa and when then they strike out on their own, they struggle to raise capital. AWI was initially founded as a discussion group over WhatsApp to provide support and networking opportunities for members on the journey to start and raise capital for investment vehicles focused on sub-Saharan Africa. The organization has expanded its geography to include emerging markets in Africa, Asia and the Middle East and now helps to unlock channels to capital, skill building, tools and other resources that are currently very limited in the market. We accelerate the development and growth of these talented women to ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the investing ecosystem.

To address aspiring unbanked entrepreneurs and contribute to no poverty globally, we introduced a groundbreaking new business model: the first-ever pay-it-forward community microloan, merging charity and microfinance.

As businesses thrive, loans are paid forward to new entrepreneurs in the same community, creating a sustainable ripple effect of new initiatives and independent local financial structures.

Every day, lives are changed by a single, selfless act - the gift of organ donation. Among those waiting for transplants are 2 groups of people: those who die waiting and those who receive the gift of life. Our work raises awareness of the urgent need for organ and tissue donors while helping recipients who have overcome the impossible to live life to the fullest. These individuals have faced life's greatest challenges; they are advocates for the cause but need resources, education and community. Transplant recipients have a unique opportunity to advocate for organ donation and raise awareness. Physical activity plays a crucial role in the recovery and long-term health of recipients. When recipients compete in world events, they demonstrate to the world what can be achieved through the gift of organ donation. Additionally, our programs provide recipients with community, tools, and resources to address the many challenges they face, leading to an increased quality of life. The WTGF promotes amateur sport amongst recipients, living donors and donor families; promoting the study of transplantation; educating the public and raising awareness of the world shortage of donor organs; sharing new knowledge from biological/clinical studies; promotion of mental and moral improvement for recipients, living donors and donor families; fostering international friendship and relations.
