DRC Crisis Relief Fund

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has been plagued with decades of war. Hands at Work has been serving in DRC communities devastated by this unrest since 2006. The North Eastern province around the city of Goma has continued to experience the constant threat of rebel attacks and war. The level of violence has increased over recent months affecting communities where Hands at Work serves, resulting in the children and families in communities we serve having to flee. The HAW team in Goma, are responding to this crisis, together with faithful Care Workers in each of our communities and are seeking to reach and support the most vulnerable families. This escalating instability around Goma is highlighting the reality that families in the DRC face, with a daily struggle for survival.
