The HUMANDREAM Democratic Republic of Congo Fund is a bold initiative to support women, children, and youth who have survived war, ethnic conflicts, violence, poverty, and natural disasters in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
A Journey of Hope and Transformation for D.R. Congo Children, Women, and Youth
In Uvira, South Kivu, at the heart of one of the world’s most protracted humanitarian crises, thousands of displaced women wake up each morning and choose to build. They attend entrepreneurship workshops in IDP camps. They plant fruit trees on the same ground where conflict uprooted their families. They coach girls through sports-based peace programs that rebuild what violence tried to take.
They do this with almost no connection to the international philanthropic capital that exists, in part, to help them. That disconnection is not an accident of geography. It is a structural problem. The HUMANDREAM DRC Fund is the solution.
In strategic partnership with Community Support Center / CSC-Asbl, a women-led civil society organization based in Uvira serving displaced women, children, and youth, HUMANDREAM Foundation is building the fundraising infrastructure, monitoring and evaluation systems, and global visibility architecture that allows CSC-Asbl’s proven, community-led work to reach the funders and partners it deserves. CSC-Asbl reached 3,724 lives in 2024 on a total budget of $19,000 through diverse programs including trauma therapy, education, sports for peace and mental health support activities (P4PM), vocational training and entrepreneurship for women and youth. The programme model is not the ceiling. The infrastructure gap is. This fund closes it.
South Kivu ranks among the world’s most underserved subnational regions on the UNDP Human Development Index, 0.542. The communities here have already demonstrated what is possible. This fund exists to make that proof impossible to ignore. CSC-Asbl’s mission is to empower individuals, build resilience, and contribute to the overall well-being and development of the community. Healing Hearts, Building Futures.

Healing Hearts, Building Futures
In Eastern DR Congo, over 7 million people, most of them children, live in displacement. They sleep under plastic tarps, without toys, peace, or safety. But together, we can change that.
🎂 In 2022, our founder, Byolenganya Olo, turned his birthday into a day of joy for children who, like him, grew up forgotten. That single act of love became Community Support Center Day, a celebration bringing food, healing games, art, and dignity to displaced children.
📅 This year, on November 24th, we’re bringing CSC Day to Lusenda Refugee Camp, home to 2,000 children displaced by war.
🎯 Our goal: Raise $15,000 to give them a day of joy, hope, and belonging.
At the Community Support Center (CSC-Asbl), we believe that even the smallest contribution can spark change.
Whether it’s $1, $5, $50, or $1,000, your gift can turn despair into hope.
