Take the Congo Challenge

One of our favorite charities and causes on the PPP is Raise Hope for the Congo. We at the PPP do not just focus on animal and environmental causes but human causes that help give a voice to people who have no voice. And Raise Hope for the Congo is a campaign that is all about giving those in the Congo who suffer on a daily basis atrocities that you or I couldn't even fathom a voice.

Over a decade of violence. Hundreds of thousands of women attacked. Millions displaced. Too many lives lost. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. It is time to end the silence. Challenge yourself to raise awareness. Challenge yourself to raise your voice. Challenge yourself to raise the profile of the deadliest war in the world. And then Challenge others to join the movement.

Change is possible…if we act.
