Dear Friend,

We often hear about the Democratic Republic of the Congo through headlines about conflict, displacement, and now Ebola. But what does lasting transformation look like in one of the world's most challenging contexts?

Join us on September 10th at Virginia Theological Seminary for a special conversation with Irene Nyambura, Five Talents' Program Advisor for the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Irene walks alongside Savings Group members every day, and she will share firsthand stories from communities where Five Talents is helping women and families build sustainable livelihoods. You'll gain a unique behind-the-scenes perspective on the challenges communities face, the resilience they demonstrate, and the lasting impact of locally-led development.

Following the presentation, you'll have the opportunity to ask Irene your questions during a live Q&A.
