Bringing Milling Machines to Congo's most Remote Communities

Women in remote areas of congo drive the economy and do virtually all the household chores, while men take care of cattle. Women do much of the work of cultivating the land to feed their families. They gather firewood, a task increasingly difficult as weather patterns change. They haul jerry cans of water on their heads from streams nearby. They take care of the children, clean houses, and cows shelters. I co-founded Jimbere Fund precisely to help women in Congo’s most remote communities. Women like my grandmother and aunties who still live in Minembwe. I want to enable them and others like them to create a better life for themselves and their families. Our approach blends community organizing and development interventions. Communities identify their most pressing needs and we work with them to find solutions and co-implement them.
