Your support helps us go further.
Fondation Salama works with women, young people and families in South Kivu. We believe a community recovers lastingly when its members have access to education, healthcare, decent income and a voice in the decisions that affect them.
Every person is welcomed as an actor in their own future, never as a mere beneficiary.
Our teams live and work alongside communities, listening to their real priorities.
Every contribution is used for the announced mission, with accessible reporting.
We favour solutions that strengthen local independence rather than dependence.
Four complementary areas designed together, because education, health, food and women’s independence feed one another.
For whom : Children, teenagers and young adults
School support, community learning spaces, adult literacy and practical training that opens the way to a trade or an income-generating activity.
For whom : Farming families, women’s groups
Helping producers improve harvests, share equipment and better store and sell their produce, strengthening household food and income.
For whom : Mothers, children and whole neighbourhoods
Awareness on hygiene, nutrition and prevention, referrals to care facilities and collective sanitation actions carried out with residents.
For whom : Women, girls and young leaders
Creating spaces for dialogue, solidarity and leadership so women and young people take a full part in the economic and social life of their community.
We always follow the same path so that help remains useful, understood and owned by those who receive it.
