One Time Donation - Emergency Relief (2025 Goma Crisis)

A year ago, we brought news of the crisis in Goma escalating - since the beginning of 2025 it has exploded into one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world. The M23 rebels control the city, and while a ceasefire is being worked on the violence continues. Thousands are displaced, living in dire conditions with no safe place to go. Humanitarian aid is scarce, and at this moment, The Art of Courage is the only beacon of light for our Tchukudu Community.

The Crisis We Face

Currently, the Tchukudu Kids' Home is operating at more than double its intended capacity of 30 children. Additionally, several children have been sent to host families, bringing the total number of children needing food support to 80. The situation is very fluid, and this number changes frequently. We’ve been able to provide some food, shelter, and medicine through emergency crisis funding, but these resources are quickly depleting.

Jonathan Holiday School Opens with Caution

The Jonathan Holiday School has reopened as of Monday, and children are gradually returning. While the situation remains uncertain, we are taking every precaution to ensure the safety of our students and teachers.  We remain vigilant and committed to navigating these challenges while providing a space for learning and connection.  

Emergency Funds Needed

We urgently need emergency funds to continue feeding the children, teachers, and staff currently under our care.  These funds are critical not only to sustain daily food and shelter but also to provide security measures to protect them from ongoing threats. Additionally, we must secure emergency medicine to address the growing health risks, including disease and injuries.

Global Humanitarian Aid is limited currently, and The Art of Courage remains our communities only source of support, hope, and survival. Every contribution helps ensure that we can continue providing for these vulnerable children in one of the world’s most dangerous humanitarian situations.
