Friends Of The Congo

Breaking the Silence Speakers Tour (BTS) is a speaking tour conducted by FOTC each year since 2009 which runs from February to July. It mainly occurs in US and Canada but at times our speakers have travelled to Latin America, Europe to discuss the situation in the Congo.

Congo Ground- In the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, near the capital city of Goma, Mount Nyiragongo erupted on May 22, 2021. In collaboration with our long-term partner in Goma, Yole!Africa, Friends of the Congo launched a fund-drive campaign to support people in need in North Kivu. We recognize there are many avenues through which you can donate. This campaign is specifically for people who are interested in making a local impact that supports families who are typically ineligible for or unable to access funding from large-scale donors.
