59th Session at the United Nations
59th Session United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva
Offering solutions and a perspective to to vulnerable children
Geneva, Switzerland – Today, during the 59th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, I had the honor of participating in a significant conference with the Congolese Minister of Human Rights and other panelists . Discussions focused on the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a region grappling with immense suffering.
The current situation is alarming: Populations face severe food shortages, insufficient access to healthcare and clean drinking water, as well as the massive destruction of their property and infrastructure, especially hospitals and schools. Fighting persists, particularly involving the M23/AFC armed groups that control a significant part of the country's East, unscrupulously targeting civilians. Massacres and sexual violence continue with impunity, leaving a trail of pain and despair.
During the conference, I had the opportunity to share our concerns regarding the non-payment of our secondary school teachers' salaries, a major obstacle to education. I also presented the educational programs with boarding facilities that we offer to vulnerable children, orphans, and street children – crucial initiatives to provide them with a future perspective.
Together with our partner LCPA, we can make a difference. Education is a fundamental human right and an essential pillar for reconstruction and peace in this war-torn region. To achieve this, we need individuals and organizations who believe in our mission and are willing to support us financially.
Story behind RoH
River of Hope’s founding was sparked by the work of Dr. Nathaniel Doron, my father is law, a Holocaust Survivor, a former UN Official and Diplomat, and our Honorary President, who dedicated his life to fighting poverty, famine and AIDS across the globe. In his relentless engagement, he positively touched the lives of thousands of children and adults in the most needing parts of Africa, Asia & Latin America.
He sadly passed away in July 2019 in Israel, but as he continues to inspire us with his smile, compassion and devotion to making this world a little better.
Nathaniel Doron (my father in law) named his biography "River of Hope". The legacy will live on through our actions and the stories we tell, ensuring he will never be forgotten. R.I.P.

Documentary "Look Beyond" by Claudia Doron
Selected for LA Independent Film Festival for Women in Spring 2023
Buchs/SG, [3 September, 2023] — Claudia Doron, the founder and project manager of "River of Hope" in Buchs/SG, is thrilled to announce that her documentary, “look beyond," has been officially selected to be featured at the LA Independent Women Film Awards, in Los Angeles in Spring 2023.
"Look Beyond" is a powerful documentary that takes viewers on a journey to the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Claudia Doron, the driving force behind "River of Hope," leads this inspiring exploration. In her documentary, she shares her compelling story of founding the non-profit association "River of Hope" in 2010, armed with nothing but determination and a vision for change. Without a cent and without a predetermined project, she embarked on an incredible mission to make a difference in the lives of those in need.
Over the course of 13 years, Claudia's vision has transformed into a reality. The center "Tala Mosika", which translates to “look beyond" in Lingala, now stands proudly on 5 hectares of land. This center has become a beacon of hope for the local community, providing education to over 500 primary and high school students, healthcare services, and a thriving soccer school. The success of this project demonstrates the unwavering commitment to the principle of "helping people to help themselves."
"Look Beyond" is a testament to the power of vision, determination, and the positive impact that one person can have on a community and the world. Claudia Doron's documentary is an inspiring and uplifting journey, and its selection for the LA Independent Film Festival for Women is a well-deserved recognition of her remarkable work.

Empower your Vision
The world needs people who burn with passion for their ideas, now more than ever.
With my international background I have been empowering people in motion since 2006. My motivation stems from a profound belief in the transformative power of grassroots initiatives. I am convinced that anyone, regardless of resources or background, can make a significant impact in making the world a better place. This belief drives me commitment to fostering positive change through community-led efforts and individual empowerment—whether it’s in your family, your community, or somewhere in the world.
I believe that anyone can be empowered, and it begins with respectful, eye-level communication. By actively involving individuals in their own development, we enable them to take charge of their lives, breaking free from victimhood and interrupting the cycle of poverty. This collaborative approach cultivates self-reliance and paves the way for lasting positive change.
Without a cent and a predetermined project, I founded the non-profit association "River of Hope" in 2010 and landed in the Democratic Republic of Congo. With our documentary, we take viewers on a journey to her center "Tala Mosika" (Tala Mosika means "look beyond" in Lingala).
With the goal of "helping people to help themselves," she started 14 years ago with a lot of support from Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Today, a center stands on 5 hectares of land. Over 500 primary and high school students receive an education, are cared for in the health center, and benefit from the soccer school.

Claudia Doron über "River of Hope"
"Wir alle träumen von Frieden, Freiheit, Gleichheit, Gerechtigkeit und dem Ende von Hunger und Unwissenheit. Die Verwirklichung dieser Träume ist zum Teil möglich, aber wir können die Welt nicht über Nacht verändern. Machen Sie stattdessen kleine Schritte, einen Tag nach dem anderen und sind Sie ein Vorbild für die nächsten Generationen.
Hoffnung schenken. Das macht River of Hope !
Claudia Doron on "River of Hope"
"We all dream of peace, freedom, equality, justice and the end of hunger and ignorance. The realization of these dreams is partly possible, but we cannot change the world overnight. Instead, take small steps, one day at a time, and set an example for future generations.
Give hope. River of Hope does just that!
