Review for The Dillon Henry Foundation, Santa Monica, CA, USA
The ongoing success of the school in the DRC is outstanding as they serve almost 600 students. The changes in the lives of the students is remarkable and on a level not seen in that war torn region.
Yet, they continue to support students in need for college and fight for our oceans and against the climate changes in our world. For such a modest sized organization their impact is great.

We are so proud of our Congo Peace School serving 566 children in Congo, providing a quality education and two meals a day. This is our 4th year at school and the children are thriving.
We also serve students at Pali High offering scholarships and remain attentive to the environment by supporting our partner Surfrider.
People are dedicated and we are appreciative of all our Board and donors.
Review for The Dillon Henry Foundation, Santa Monica, CA, USA
This foundation continues (over 14 years) to serve those who need them the most. Youth in foster care, deserving students ready for college, and almost 600 children in Africa at their Congo Peace School. All this is done in the memory of one boy Dillon, whose life was cut short but who would have been a leader in this world. We are continuing his kindness, compassion and standing up for those who deserve better.
Review for The Dillon Henry Foundation, Santa Monica, CA, USA
One of the projects this foundation has undertaken is the Congo Peace School. It is amazing to see how they have educated and fed almost 500 children. Their values of peace, gender equality and true leadership will change the face of Congo & keep these children off the streets and away from violence. Everything the foundation does is thoughtful and impactful, whether working on the environment or education, they succeed in doing what they promise.
Review for The Dillon Henry Foundation, Santa Monica, CA, USA
This foundation has helped so many children obtain an education across the world!
They have given over 100 college scholarships locally and have recently built a school in the Congo for 480 children, which helps take them off the streets and into school. They believe in connection and empowerment! While performing these life changing projects, they honor the memory of a son, brother and friend.

A non profit that prides itself on hands on engagement in children, education and the environment. Currently, opening a school in the Congo that takes kids off the street and into school. 480 children who can be leaders for non violence, gender equality and peace.
Review for The Dillon Henry Foundation, Santa Monica, CA, USA
As a Board Member of the Dillon Henry Foundation, I can say that every project that is done is impactful and serves the needs of many. WE have focused on several main areas and made a difference in the environment, in providing college bound students with scholarships, with foster youth in Los Angeles, and our reach even extends to serving victims of genocide in Africa. The heart of the organization comes from DIllon Henry, an amazing young man, whose life was cut tragically short. It is with his passions and spirit in mind that we spread his name and goodness to help others. We carry on his dream to make our world provide more opportunities to others so their lives will be improved and their futures brighter. We also will look at new ideas and consider funding proposals that are in keeping with our mission statement and goals.

Review for Jewish World Watch, Encino, CA, USA
Jewish World Watch is an amazing grass roots organization that has taken our community and educated us about what parts of the world are suffering and how we can change it. While many of their worthwhile projects have been focused on Darfur, the organization has now reached into another volatile area, the Congo. Their operation is creative and their leadership is visionary. There is no other similarly focused organization who has impacted the lives of so many. You can be assured that their committtment to human rights, education and advocacy will be be sustainable well out into the future.
