NAP 1325 Signatory, the Mukwege Foundation, is pleased to invite you to a special event to mark their 10-year anniversary, hosted by the Postcode Lottery.

Over the past decade, the Mukwege Foundation has played a vital role in transforming the global response to conflict-related sexual violence. This gathering is a moment to come together, celebrate the impact achieved with survivors, hear powerful stories of resilience, and look ahead to the urgent work that still lies before us.

This event will take place at the Postcode Lottery office in Amsterdam, highlighting the longstanding partnership between the Postcode Lottery and the Mukwege Foundation.
