Conversation with Amani Matabaro

  • Date: Sunday, August 4, 2024
  • Time: 11:15am12:15pm EDT
  • Location: Harter Room

While a Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, and the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, Amani (Tom) Matabaro has been attending First Church with his family. On August 4, he will speak with us about his work to address human and civil rights issues in the war torn region of Eastern Congo. Tom is the Founding Director of Action Kivu and the co-founder and Executive Director of ABFEC (Action for the Welfare of Women and Children in Congo), a Congolese grassroots organization for which the US-based nonprofit Action Kivu raises awareness and funds. ABFEC’s community-based initiatives foster equality for conflict-affected women and children in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Tom works every day to advance human rights, good governance, and social justice in his home country, and his work has put him at high risk on a daily basis. All are welcome to join us after worship to learn more about this important work.
