WHAT WE DO

Democratic Republic of the Congo

The humanitarian crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (RDC) is one of the longest

and most complex in the world. It is estimated that in 2022, 27 million people need aid

and humanitarian protection because of a very serious food insecurity, with almost 5.5 million

internally displaced forced to move several times, and 500,000 refugees and asylum seekers

from nearby countries . In DRC our work is concentrated in Bukavu, an urban area in the region

of the Great Lakes where we work with Foyer Ek’abana, which is a center founded in 2001 that

has as its goal the recovery, education and social and professional integration for girls and

adolescents who for various reasons, among which the accusation of witchcraft, find themselves

on the margins of society.
