Event Description:
When we Run for Congo Women, we are sending a simple message:

Congolese lives matter.
The lives of Congolese women are significant.
The lives of Congolese children are precious.
They have waited far too long.
They are worth our effort.
We are running to help.
Join us!


Run for Congo Women benefits Women for Women International's program in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 5.4 million people have died since 1998 in a conflict that has left Congo decimated. Women for Women International provides women survivors of war with rights awareness and job skills training, direct aid, small business development support and emotional support so they can move from victim to survivor to active citizen.

You can register on their website-

If you can’t run or walk please make a donation in support of these women!
