Save the Congo
Save the Congo (Charity number: 1145012 and Company number: 06961720) is a campaign group dedicated to raising awareness of, and to tackling the root causes of, the wars and human tragedy which have been engulfing the Democratic Republic of Congo since 1998. Save the Congo is independent and international in its outlook; participatory in its approach; and works with religious leaders, parliamentarians, student-led organisations and both local and international rights and humanitarian agencies for an end to impunity, insecurity, the international trade of minerals funding and fueling the wars in Congo and institutional failure in Kinshasa.

Save the Congo was founded in a basement hall of St. Monica's Church in London in 2008 by Vava Tampa as an effort to shine a light on the killing, raping, uprooting and abuses which in 2008, ten years after the 1998 Rwandan-led invasion of Congo, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) said to have claimed over 5.4 million lives, with an estimated 45, 000 dying each month from wars, diseases and famine. All of its staffs are volunteers and all of its actions and initiatives are funded by its staffs and donations from good-willed individuals.
