In the past decade, the need for global humanitarian assistance and, likewise, the number of people in need has been growing exponentially; this growth is due mainly to the increasing numbers of armed conflicts and protracted crises, severe natural disasters, and the global pandemic alongside the pressures of urbanisation. Furthermore, the high numbers of displaced people, a growing funding gap, difficulties with access to affected populations, and severe protection issues require more investment in global collective humanitarian efforts.
Our interventions are based strictly on need, focusing on the most vulnerable and underserved populations—particularly those in hard-to-reach areas. As a consequence, rather than targeting a specific sector, we comprehensively address emergencies based on the given context and the added value we can bring—first, by working with communities to prepare for and mitigate the impact of disasters; then providing immediate assistance when an emergency unfolds; and finally, by working with the affected population to help them recover as quickly as possible after the crisis. We provide humanitarian assistance and development cooperation, enabling us to efficiently connect emergency relief, recovery, and long-term development—including disaster preparedness and risk reduction measures. We are committed to ensuring the meaningful participation of the people we serve; we listen to the voices of affected and non-affected communities to ensure that their priorities guide our assistance and that all affected and vulnerable groups have meaningful access to our assistance.
The most violent armed conflict since the end of World War II is still raging in the DR Congo. A formal peace agreement was signed in December 2002, but since then numerous local conflicts have broken out, especially in the eastern provinces. People in Need helps in hard-to-access areas of the Kivu and Maniema provinces where acute malnutrition is rife.
Historically, we have responded successfully and quickly thanks to the contributions donated by the community of supporters, partners,

DR Congo emergency
The emergency in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is one of the most complex humanitarian crises in the world. Conditions for displaced people are worsening on a daily basis as attacks on sites for the internally displaced increase, resources run dry, and many find themselves unable to meet their most urgent needs without humanitarian assistance.
