The “con­go­li­nas” are little dolls that repre­sent the women of the Demo­cra­tic Repu­blic of Con­go, who are the back­bo­ne of their fami­lies, wor­king hard whi­le carrying their chil­dren on their backs. The­se dolls are hand­ma­de by a group of women with disa­bi­li­ties from Heri Kwe­tu, loca­ted near the CRPL, Lwi­ro Pri­ma­tes, in the same country.

Some time ago, we laun­ched this cam­paign to ensu­re that no desk or offi­ce is without its con­go­li­na or a hand­ma­de ani­mal craf­ted from color­ful Afri­can fabric scraps.

You can request your “con­go­li­na” for a dona­tion of €10, hel­ping the arti­sans who crea­te them and orphans like Tan­gany­ka, shown in the photo.
