ACTION KIVU INC

Action Kivu is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Los Angeles that raises funds and builds partnerships to support ABFEC (Actions pour le Bien être de la Femme et de l'Enfant au Kivu), a Congolese-led community organization operating in South Kivu, DRC. The organization’s core programs include an entrepreneurial sewing workshop and microloan support for women survivors of conflict, a community farm and sustainable agriculture training, HIV education and testing outreach, and the Congo Peace School—a peace-centered school serving children from preschool through secondary grades. In recent years Action Kivu has both expanded its Peace School programming and provided emergency relief tied to surges in regional conflict: the organization documented school re-openings, food and hygiene distributions to displaced families, and donor-supported efforts to sustain staff payroll and student meals during acute crises (notably emergency distributions in 2024). Action Kivu files annual Form 990 returns and reported operating revenues and program spending in 2023 consistent with active, ongoing donor-facing operations.
