This project helps over 2,000 vulnerable families in Bukavu, DR Congo, who lost everything in a massive fire. We provide emergency shelter, food, school kits for children, and basic necessities. As families sleep under the open sky just days before the school year begins, your donation offers urgent relief and hope for a new start.
In Bukavu, DR Congo, recurring fires are destroying entire neighborhoods, with no safety net in place. The latest fire on August 26 ravaged 1,000+ homes in Cimpunda and Mosala, displacing nearly 2,000 families. With no government support, survivors including children are sleeping on the streets as the school year approaches. These families are left to rebuild from ashes, with nothing
We will provide emergency shelter materials (tarps, tents), food, hygiene kits, and school supplies to affected families. Local volunteers will help distribute aid and identify the most vulnerable. With your support, we can help these families find temporary stability, dignity, and help their children return to school despite the tragedy.
This project lays the groundwork for long-term recovery by helping families return to daily life with dignity. Children will resume school, parents will begin to rebuild their lives, and community resilience will be strengthened. Investing in these families today helps break the cycle of poverty worsened by disaster and restores hope for future generations.
