War, conflict epidemic and effects of intergenerational poverty have left over 4 million children in Norh/ South Kivu in Eastern democratic of the Congo to face the harsh realities of life on their own.
In Democratic Republic of Congo, 3 in every 10 children has lost 1 or both parents, resulting in family members or grandchildren assuming the responsibilities of caring for their families. Thousands of households are headed by a child and 59.4% of children live in poverty.
In communities with high rates of orphaned and vulnerable children, it is common for children to drop out of school or turn to sex trafficking to earn money. These children, stuck in a cycle of poverty, are extremely vulnerable to abuse, food insecurity, sickness and even death.
For over a year, Women network for development and conflict resolution has worked in Democratic Republic of the Congo to address the orphan crisis.
The problems these communities face are complex and far reaching. We are committed to finding sustainable solutions led by individuals who reside in these communities, and above all, we value local wisdom.
We address the orphan crisis from multiple angles and invest in the long term development of those we serve by working together with communities to identify their needs and opportunities for growth—fostering individual and community self-reliance.
Our efforts span across multiple continents, bringing hope and tangible help where it’s needed most. We believe in the power of community and the unstoppable force of informed, empowered, and supported individuals.
Our impact is best shared through the voices of those we’ve supported. Here are stories from individuals whose lives have been transformed by our efforts, illustrating the real-world effects of our work.
