In terms of quality of life, DR Congo ranks at the bottom of the UNs Human Development Index in the world, with the second lowest life expectancy, education levels, and income.Life for most people is a daily struggle to survive. According to the UN, 95% of the people earn less than $2 a day and about 70% of Congolese lack access to adequate food. Children are the most vulnerable. Nine percent of children under age five are acutely malnourished, and 43 percent suffer from chronic malnutrition. In 2015, Congo Relief Mission Inc. (CRM) primarily supported its new priority: orphan children.Provided funds to help support 6 orphanages with around 250 children ranging in age from newborns to 18 years olds. The third annual Celebration for Congolese Orphans and a private summer waterpark event raised over $55,000 to help feed and care for these orphans. A nutritionist was retained to improve nutrition and school fees were paid for 100 primary school students, 46 secondary school children, and 3 university students. CRM had 72 beds made locally so that some children dont have to sleep on the ground. The orphanages were given $2000 grants to invest in a self-sustaining project. The projects ranged from raising chickens, buying a motorcycle to provide local transportation, to purchasing a freezer to sell refrigerated goods. This initiative helps improve outcomes for these children and their communities.In addition, CRM provided funds to support an agricultural farm which planted and cultivated foodstuffs and livestock. Many children and poor benefitted from the food. The efforts of Congo Relief Mission (CRM) benefit people in extreme poverty living in Mbujimayi. Mbujimayi is located in the center-south region of Congo, in the Eastern Kasai region. The third largest city in Congo, Mbujimayi, has a population of more than three million people. It is a largely underdeveloped area with a total lack of basic infrastructure. Only a small percentage of the people have access to electricity and running water. Conflict, political uncertainty, and economic collapse have left many people without basic essentials, especially women and children. CRMs programs (orphanages and farm) help the most vulnerable members of society. 69690 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false true false false false X Dr Lucy Nolan 3037988909 1251 W Long Ct Littleton CO 801204455 X Mr Mark Bauman President 3.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Fr Simon Kalonga Administrator 7.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mrs Claudia McAdam Secretary 3.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dr Lucy Nolan Treasurer 7.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mr Dustin Gallegos Director 7.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Rick Rank Director 3.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Fr Gaston Muyombo Director 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mrs Sara Gallegos Director 7.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mrs Patti Zecchi Director 3.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 52857 39795 92652 0 0 0 0 0 11652 14372 -2720 -2720 -2720 2500 52857 4190 -1690 -1690 0 0 0 88242 -2720 -1690 0 0 69450 69450 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6575 6575 0 0 0 0 0 0 Professional fees 1075 1075 Bank service fees 429 429 Website/computer services 288 288 0 77817 69450 8367 0 17143 41940 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4175 4175 0 14372 0 0 0 0 0 31515 41940 0 0 X 31515 41940 31515 41940 31515 41940 10425 X false false false X 103759 207729 217548 189772 92652 811460 0 0 103759 207729 217548 189772 92652 811460 231532 579928 224 491 -2720 -2005 0 0 809455 0.71640 0.70860 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4175 4175 true Kasai Oriental,Congo 0 0 Program Service Support farming 25000 Kasai Oriental, Congo 0 0 Program service Support for orphanages 41600 Kasai Oriental, Congo 0 0 Program services Support schoold, education 2850 69450 69450 Kasai Oriental Aid farming 25000 WireTransfer n/a n/a Kasai Oriental Aid orphan. 41400 WireTransfer n/a n/a Kasai Oriental Aid schools, educ 3050 Wire trasfer n/a n/a 3 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US A detailed financial and narrative progress report is provided periodically to the organization by the on-site CRM program administrator.
