Escalating violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has forced at least 78,000 children to flee their homes. 7-year-old Mbokani* is one of them.
Mbokani was at school when conflict broke out in his home village. He, his mother and his four siblings quickly fled to a displacement camp. They are still waiting to find out if Mbokani’s father and other extended family members are safe.
This conflict is just one of many that children across the globe are facing. From the DRC to Gaza to Ukraine, children deserve to feel safe so they can grow up healthy, educated and safe.
When Mbokani and his family arrived in the displacement camp, unsanitary conditions were putting the children at risk of illness. But thanks to supporters like you, our teams were able to install latrines and clean water points. We also set up a child-friendly space where children like Mbokani and his siblings can learn and play.
With your donation today, we can continue providing children like Mbokani with critical resources to help cover their immediate and long-term needs – from food and housing to longer-term support. We can help them confront conflict, poverty, hunger and other unimaginable hardships.
Thank you for everything you do to help children have hope for a brighter future.
