In northern Kenya, the herding ethnic groups Turkana and Pokot live. The shortage of water and food is occasionally great and many live in difficult conditions. The struggle for survival has resulted in an armed conflict over livestock. "The majority of us are widows or have lost our sons to this conflict," said Mama Rahab. She is a member of a peace-building committee, organized by the PMU's partners in the field, in an effort to increase dialogue and understanding between the two tribes and to quell the conflict that strikes hardest on women and children.

The way out of the fighting lies, among other things, in intensive peace-building work and in finding alternative livelihoods to reduce competition for livestock.
Mama Rahab is optimistic about the future. "For a long time, only the men attended the meetings, and if a woman came, she was not allowed to speak openly or have an opinion." But in this project, Mama Rahab feels that women are at the forefront of peacebuilding work. "We as women have a role to play in ending the conflict and we thank God that we are appreciated for our participation."

For SEK 300, you give a "start-your-own-contribution" to a mother. Instead of the men and sons going into battle and stealing cattle for the family to survive, the mother can now support the family.

Help Women get back on their feet after sexual violence

In DR Congo, the rapes can lead to great shame and the victims are sometimes displaced from their families and cannot return to their villages after the end of the hospital season. For them, there is the Maison Dorcas transit accommodation where women who have been cared for within the framework of the Survivors of sexual violence (SSV) project are offered aftercare and follow-up. The women often bring their children with them. The program is holistic and consists of the three main components accommodation, education and psychosocial support. The activities include food security, accommodation, psychosocial treatment, health care and the residents can participate in income-generating activities and literacy courses to more easily get out of the poverty in which many of them live. The women also receive legal support after the abuse.

For SEK 125, you give 10 nights to a survivor of sexual violence

- If we had not been taken care of here, the women from my home village would be wiped out. Thanks to Dr. Mukwege and the staff at Panzi, we get care and our situation improves, says Sara. She is one of the women affected by the sexual violence in DR Congo, as a consequence of the conflict that prevails in the country. Congolese society is fundamentally shaken after 20 years of brutal abuse. More and more raped women and children are applying to Panzi Hospital. Great efforts are needed to be able to provide care for survivors of sexual violence. The care involves medical and psychosocial care as well as legal information and support. The project goal is to provide qualified care for women and children, as well as to work with influence and change to increase access to health care and justice. 23,757 patients have received care after sexual violence at Panzis Hospital between Sep 1999 and June 2015. For SEK 125, you can buy 10 nights for a survivor at Panzi Hospital. THANK YOU for being part of changing the world!

Efforts against covid-19

"The only sustainable strategy in Africa is to prevent, prevent and re-prevent." - Denis Mukwege Since the first reports of covid-19, the virus has now spread throughout the world. Several of the PMU's partner countries are hard hit, and our partners are calling for help to be able to reach out to the population with information and assist with healthcare materials. The poorest are the ones hardest hit, but there is a key to preventing a total disaster in these countries - getting information about the virus and how to protect yourself. The efforts made consist of information campaigns, healthcare materials and health kits.

Children in Bangladesh receive instruction in their own language

Bangladesh is one of the most populous nations in the world. The population will cross the 200 million mark within a couple of decades. Minority groups are discriminated against and are often exploited, and the fact that it is so difficult to get a job makes it difficult for many to obtain food. The children are neglected by the parents and often have to be alone at home and take care of households and siblings when the parents work long days in the fields, which leads to illness and mental illness and the children do not develop at the pace they should. The road to school is often long and dangerous and girls are often divorced when they are only 12, 13 years old. In addition, it is not a matter of course that the teaching and teaching material in the schools is in a language that the children understand. For only SEK 200, you help children from 4 different minority villages to receive teaching materials in their own mother tongue for a month.
