RECONCILIATION: a Congolese ministry staff of 9 from all 5 tribes worked with inhabitants, pastors and local leaders of 22 villages in the Minembwe region of South Kivu DRC. Poverty is a factor in the chronic cycle of violence and inter-tribal animosity. 24 economic empowerment co-ops were started with micro-loans (96 women, 40 youth). Sustainable vocational training was taught to 65 young adults in a multi-tribal residential school (see below). Our Congolese grantee, New Hope Reconciliation ASBL, led reconciliation work-shops and seminars for 280 villagers, pastors, community leaders and church worship services on topics from emotional healing, forgiveness and community resilience. Weekly radio broadcasts reached another 57,000 with similar topics as well as messages about the community center constructed and the rebuilt multi-tribal church. Three inter-tribal soccer "peace" tournaments were also organized. 7,000 pounds of crops were planted and harvested in multi-tribal agricultural cooperatives.
