Support vulnerable lives in Congo.

In Eastern DR Congo, decades of conflict have left families displaced, children abandoned, and women without resources to support their loved ones. F.T & Foundation currently cares for 16 vulnerable lives in Congo: street children, struggling women, and seven young orphans who lost their parents to war. With practical training and tools, they can rebuild.

Already, progress is visible. Two boys train in carpentry, learning a trade that can sustain them. Meanwhile, several women study sewing to earn dignified income. However, classes require equipment. Therefore, they urgently need sewing machines, tables, and starter materials so participants can practice daily, produce garments, and sell their work to local buyers.

At the same time, F.T & Foundation is launching a plastic-waste recycling project to create jobs and reduce pollution. With a shredder, sorting tables, molds, and an extrusion machine, they will turn discarded plastic into eco-bricks, paving stones, benches, and chairs. As a result, communities will gain cleaner streets, safer building materials, and employment.

Your Impact

Every donation drives impact. A modest gift buys thread, needles, or safety gear. Larger contributions fund sewing machines, carpentry tools, or a recycling shredder. In addition, your support covers mentoring and basic needs while trainees practice. Because resources go directly to equipment and training, gifts translate quickly into skills, products, and income.

They operate transparently and put people first. Consequently, F.T & Foundation prioritise sustainable, hands-on work that restores confidence and independence. Your help equips children to earn, learn, and lead.

How to Help?

How you can help is simple: donate if you can; otherwise, share this campaign so it reaches partners, employers, and neighbours. Together, you can help them expand training, launch the recycling workshop. Above all, they can replace uncertainty with tools, wages, and hope across Eastern DR Congo.

For example, a single sewing machine serves three apprentices per day, producing uniforms and reusable bags that schools and markets already request. Likewise, one carpentry toolkit enables trainees to repair desks and build shelves for community clinics. When the recycling line runs, it will process kilograms of plastic each hour and pay wages.

Because this is community-run work, costs stay low and impact remains local. Please stand with F.T & Foundation today and help turn training into livelihoods that last for families.
