Join a Run or Walk for Congo Women

1. Register. Find a Run for Congo Women near you. See our list of upcoming runs on this page, or contact us to find out if anything is in the works near you.

2. Set a goal for number of sisters sponsored. A great goal is one woman sponsored for every mile you go.

3. Raise money and awareness. Follow the talking points cheat sheet. Ask people to sponsor their own sister for $27/month, or make a flat donation to Women for Women's Congo Program. Track your pledges with the pledge sheet.

   • Host a Congo Care Gathering. Then ask 5 friends to do the same!
   • Talk with everyone you know & just ask!
   • Send personal emails and letters (sample: MS Word version, plain text version) to everyone you know.

   Be bold! When people know about the situation in Congo, they are grateful for an opportunity to support you and help.

4. Run or Walk for Congo Women!

5. Collect the money and send it in. People can give online, or send you their check, made out to Women for Women International. Set a deadline. Bundle checks as soon as possible and send directly to:
