Butoke depends on your support to pursue its work

 

As an NGO working in a neglected part of the world, Butoke is reliant on personal contributions and sacrifices from its own members, from the people and communities it supports, and from benefactors overseas, including individuals, non-government organizations, and official donor agencies such as CIDA and UNICEF.

 

Butoke is fortunate to benefit from the services of Dr. Cécile de Sweemer, who is a high level professional with 45 years of experience working in developing countries, and who is donating her time and efforts and what remains of her pension after living expenses, to Butoke. Butoke’s Congolese professional staff work for modest salaries, ranging from $US75 to $US150 per month.
