ITURI FOREST PEOPLES FUND
How can I help?

How can I help?

You can help prevent 25% of children dying before they reach the age of five

	You can help a child attend school and prepare for the challenges in a rapidly changing future
	You can help save the rain forest by empowering the Efe and Lese who for generations have used the forest wisely.

Even a small contribution to the Ituri Forest Peoples Fund goes a long way.

The Ituri Fund is supported by private donations, and the sale of Efe and Lese-made items at the annual Cultural Survival Bazaar. The fund augments the efforts of the community by helping the health clinic get medicines, contributing to the nurse’s and teachers’ salaries and training, and buying school books in Swahili and French that are unavailable in Congo.

	$50 will cure 10 children with malaria.
	$25 will pay a teacher's salary for a month.
	$20 will treat 10 children with intestinal worms.
	$15 will buy school writing materials for a month.

The fund is managed solely by volunteers and its finances are overseen by Cultural Survival. Over 90% of the money donated goes directly to the Efe and Lese - not to administrative costs and salaries. The Fund would like to provide secondary school scholarships and train additional health workers. Your contribution will have an immediate impact on Efe and Lese children and their families, and through your support of education will help the children meet the challenges of an uncertain future.
