Good news! Thrivent Financial (known simply as Thrivent) has designated and enrolled AKROS in its Thrivent Choice program, which mean two things:

- Donors who find AKROS in Thrivent's Choice catalog of organizations can give directly to AKROS and Thrivent will cover all processing fees so AKROS receives 100% of the donation.

- Eligible members of Thrivent can give their Thrivent Choice Dollars to AKROS as one more way to fund our operations that serve the orphans and vulnerable children in Bukavu, DRC.

Christmas Party: Through an innovative fundraiser, Rev. Dn. Alessia Brusorio and her husband, Francesco Matassa, raised a total of $1,135.81 USD (based on exchange rates) to provide a special Christmas celebration in 2025 for the orphans. Brusorio decorated the windows of her shop, located in Vigevano in northern Italy, with Christmas ornaments and products she made entirely by hand (see images below). Proceeds of all sales were used for food and juice, decorations, toys, and board games for the children (see additional images below).
