In January 2017, Neelley Hicks began Harper Hill Global to serve as a communications-for-the-common good-agency. The inaugural project is with Congo Women Arise – a program of the East Congo, California-Pacific, Memphis and Tennessee Annual Conferences of The United Methodist Church – combating stigma through the Mama Lynn Center in Kindu, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Harper Hill Global extended the UMC program by developing a communications campaign for combating stigma throughout the East Congo episcopal region. Harper Hill Global has provided ICT4D education through scholarships in Zimbabwe, Cote d'Ivoire and DRCongo to TechChange - the premier online learning experience for those engaged in technology for social change. Harper Hill has also provided one-on-one training sessions to individuals throughout Africa. Gifts to Harper Hill Global are tax-deductible. For more information, go to www.harperhill.global.
