Now we are also at war in North Kivu, the Democratic Republic of Conbgo
As you may know about it already, Goma the main city of North Kivu Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo was capured by M23/AFC backed by Rwanda Army and the war is also progressing towards South Kivu. In Goma this war claimed more than 5,447 lives among them 65% Internally Displaced Persons and Refugees. You may get more information about this in out link: https://www.globalrefugeeleaders.org/2025/02/01/more-than-2000-people-massacred-in-goma-drc-among-them-70-composed-of-refugees-and-idps/
So for the last few months most of attention was on how to ensure were are safe, and in the process we did not other people who can help us in fundraising.
Everyone fled, all Humanitarian Organizations left North Kivu, we are the only ones remaining because we are local organization composed on people themselves. We are here with people who are in emergency need and yet we do not have the funds in order to respond that is it more urgent that local organizations are supported financially and the relief aid should channeled to local initiatives.
Please continue supporting our projects during this challenging moment and unfortunatly this war in DRC is the most forgotten in the world.
Thanks
