In the spirit of bridging the gap, we are collecting and shipping essential supplies to those in eastern Congo affected by the ongoing crisis.
The situation is constantly evolving, but our commitment remains the same. As long as shipping is possible, we will send aid directly. During brief pauses, due to the conflict, we will store supplies and prepare for the next opportunity to ship.

We invite you to partner with us. If you’re in the DC area, please consider donating supplies. If you’re outside the area, email us to explore ways to contribute.

The conflict in Eastern Congo isn’t “just another African conflict”—it’s a global issue fueled by demand for cheap minerals. 🌍

Congo’s resources power everything from smartphones to electric cars, but at what cost? Lives lost, families displaced, and a region left in chaos.

Here’s what you can do:
1. Support organizations working on the ground.
2. Sign petitions and demand action from Congress.
3. Share this post to spread awareness.
4. Follow the voices amplifying Congo’s story.

The world relies on Congo—its resources power our technology. Likewise, Congo depends on the interconnected world and goodwill for mutual growth.

Let’s continue reshaping the narrative, for the entire continent, together.

From the mines to the electric cars we drive, cobalt powers the “Green Revolution.” 🌍⚡ But not all cobalt is sourced equal.

While some is ethically sourced, there is a need for greater transparency in supply chains.

Let’s advocate for responsible sourcing to protect Congo’s resources and ensure fair practices. 💙⚡
