Story

Congo presents one of the world's deadliest emergencies to date.  More than 5.4 million people have died since 1998. Gang rape and brutal torture are a daily reality for the women and children of Congo. Women as old as 80 and as young as five have been victims of rape and other forms of sexual violence. 38,000 continue to die every month, 1200 a day. Half of these deaths are children under the age of 5 years.
On 10.10.10, Team Congo Paris will race the 20 KM de Paris and then on November 7, we will come together again to run the 6ème Foulées Villenogarennoises for Run for Congo Women and Women for Women International. Since 1993, Women for Women International has helped thousands of female survivors of war, civil strife and other conflicts rebuild their lives and regain their sense of self. Through their one-year programs, women are given the tools they need to get back on their feet and contribute to their community. Contact Kate Stence at kstence@gmail.com for details.
