Donations for food sovereignty in the DR Congo
Are you helping to improve the living conditions of people living in extreme poverty? In the province of Kwango, which belongs to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mission 21 supports the development of sustainable agriculture. This is done in cooperation with a local church, the Communauté Evangélique du Kwango. The project empowers women to become self-sufficient through targeted training.
We thank you in advance for your donations and your support for the cause of a fairer and sustainable life.

About the project
Food sovereignty in the DR Congo
The project promotes the holistic and sustainable development of agriculture and creates the conditions for sufficient and balanced nutrition. Strategically, it is closely aligned with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 2. The central themes of the project include the promotion of agro-ecological practices, the production of local seeds and income-generating measures such as cattle breeding or the creation of fish ponds. Food production is exclusively on a small scale and is mainly carried out by women. The project therefore places a special focus on empowering women smallholder farmers.
