SOS Congo: Goma Actif Fundraiser

This fundraiser supports Congolese volunteers of Goma Actif who bring food, water, shelter, and medical care to people in North Kivu displaced by rebels. They also bring creativity, moments of joy, sharing, and solidarity. Goma Actif formed in 2020 during the pandemic and has mobilized in Goma area ever since. Goma Actif is not an NGO or an association. It is a collective that spontaneously organizes in responses to challenges facing the city and the communities. They don't have an office or formal administration, but directly address the problems and needs.

The Solidarity Collective

This foundation was born out of the pro-Palestine movement in the Netherlands, launched by and for activists who have dedicated themselves to fighting Dutch complicity in Israel's genocide, as well as injustices elsewhere. Observing activists take personal risks, facing police violence, arrests, intimidation, and possible fines, the founders decided that there was a need for more structural financial support and community care.

International Solidarity Movement

This movement was founded in 2001 and aims to strengthen the Palestinian resistance, particularly through the presence of international volunteers alongside Palestinians in West Bank villages that are being attacked by Israeli settlers and soldiers. This presence of foreigners provides some protection against the violence, helps document the crimes of the occupation, and contributes to sharing what is happening to global (social) media. The funds will be used for travel and living expenses for volunteers while in Palestine.
