Away from the headlines, millions of displaced people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are struggling to survive. First, they were forced to flee unimaginable violence. Due to severe underfunding and shrinking life-saving assistance, they are forced to make impossible choices between food and shelter, medicine or school. Choices nobody should have to make.  

Help families forced to flee now 

UNHCR is on the ground to provide lifesaving care and protection to families needing help. Our teams are providing shelter and essential items such as mats, blankets, jerry cans and sanitary products for women. We are also supporting women and girl survivors of sexual violence to recover with psychological support, medical care and livelihood training. 

Please donate today  

We can support families who have lost everything to return to or rebuild their homes. But we can’t do it alone. Our operations in DRC and neighbouring countries are already critically underfunded.    

Help us now so that we can reach everyone in need.
