Selena Gomez is just one of the many stars becoming an activist forRAISE Hope. Robin Wright Penn is another activist forRAISE Hope.

RAISE Hope For Congo wants to raise awareness but would also like to wipe out sexual violence, torture and other atrocities by using the 4P method; Peace, Protection, Punishment and Prevention. This is the four ingredients needed to stop the massive violence happening in the Domestic Republic of the Congo.

The motto ofRAISE Hope For Congo – which is an initiative of theENOUGH Project – is “Enough is Enough! Congo is not hopeless. There are solutions. Together, we can stop the violence. Where there is hope there can be peace.”
