CAFOD launch £1 million Democratic Republic of Congo Appeal382 days ago
 
A decade of war
For the last ten years, violent conflict in the Congo between government troops and rebels has left over four million dead. Despite a peace deal and pledges of help from the international community, the killings have continued. Recently, an upsurge of fighting has rocked the country, forcing at least 250,000 people to flee their homes.

Life is unimaginable for those caught in the crisis. Some will have witnessed the brutal murder of family and friends. Many will have walked for days in search of safety. Most have lost everything they own.

Act now
CAFOD has launched a £1 million appeal to provide blankets, pots and pans and plastic sheeting to the thousands in need. In a crisis like this, these simple items can make the difference between life and death.

We need your help to reach as many people as possible. Please don’t turn away. Donate now to change lives. Let’s keep the Congo crisis in the headlines.

Total as of 12/11/08: £608,415.50
Thanks to everyones generosity so far, it really does make a difference.

What we do846 days ago
 
Here are some of the things CAFOD does:

• Campaigning for a fairer world, and encouraging loads of people to join us! We also demand that politicians consider poor communities when they are making big decisions that affect the world.

• Working with underprivileged people to help them make positive and long-term changes in their lives, and building global partnerships for change.

• Supporting projects such as schools, farms and health centres in poor communities, using funds raised from supporters.

• Providing relief and aid after natural disasters or conflict – helping to rebuild communities and bring support to people who need it most.

• Talking to Catholic communities and young people in schools about poverty issues and global justice, and putting faith into action.

We can’t do any of these things without the support of people like you!
