SAFECO, in partnership with WECAN International, is WECAN-Congo in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Africa’s Congo Basin is home to the second largest rainforest in the world. WECAN-Congo focuses on women-led climate change solutions and the protection of the Itombwe Rainforest by supporting the region’s Indigenous and local communities, whose cultural and ecologic heritage is threatened by unsustainable and exploitative logging, mining and agricultural practices. Through online and on-the-ground trainings, and ongoing re-forestation programs, WECAN-Congo is providing a platform for local women to learn, strategize, and implement a plan for protection of the Itombwe Rainforest and for climate justice.
