Moments of Hope

ELI is targeting 20,000 people in the village of Chihonga to receive goat and cassava loans, helping the people begin to rebuild their shattered dreams and community. What a joy to be welcomed by these extremely grateful villagers!



Villagers receiving high-yield cassava plants, the first hope of sustainable food since the destruction of their crops by the rebels.


ELI hosted a Cultural Festival of the Arts for the youth of Bukavu. Messages about AIDS and peace were shared through incredible music, dancing, and drama.
