We have helped 527 refugees in Eastern DRCongo
Despite the lack of funding in order to address the problems affecting children especially those who are not sure about their next meal, we supported refugee families in Goma and in Uvira.
UNHCR and other humanitarian organizations left Uvira leaving refugees in the transit camps without assistance and others in their own. Uvira is affected by so many things among them Cholera and other Hydric diseases.
With support Congolese of the Diaspora, and our Donor COHERE which is driving a fundraising campaign for victims in DRC, we provide soap, sugar, Maize Flour, Salt and cooking oil to 527 vulnerable families in Uvira, South Kivu Province and Goma, North Kivu Province DRC.
These interventions have helped us to learn a lesson that the current humanitarian crisis in DRC can be solved, and showed that small things can save lives.
On top of that we have been able to move with our Camera in various places in order to show the real situation of refugees in DRC, we are aware that the general public does not have enough information about refugees in DRC, so we believe that once people are fully informed then they can easily donate and support our causes in one way or the other.
