Fund for Congolese Women (FFC)

“Women are the first victims of war, but only they hold the unique key to peace.” – Julienne Lusenge

The Fund for Congolese Women (FFC) supports women's grassroots organizations through financial and technical assistance. FFC is unique - the only women-led grant-giving NGO in the entire DRC. We provide grants to local women-led organizations that are often in the most remote, difficult to reach areas. Why? We are unshakable believers in local solutions to local issues. We know that the brave women and girls working at the grassroots level have the solutions. We know that when women become agents of change, they benefit, their families benefit, their communities benefit. Since its inception in 2007, FFC has funded more than 386 projects throughout the Democratic Republic of Congo. We support projects focusing on eliminating sexual violence against women, delivering empowerment programs for women and girls, educating women about HIV/AIDS and reproductive health, and advocating for environmental justice and access to resources and land for women. Generous individuals like you make our work possible. Thank you!
