Democratic Republic of Congo: how CARE International is helping
20 November 2008
The current crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has seen 250,000 people displaced. This is in addition to the 600,000 people who were already displaced in North Kivu.
The existing camps are already overcrowded so many people are taking refuge in schools, fields or public buildings. People who have been forced to abandon their homes and walk for days to reach safety need help now. CARE International is distributing clothing, hygiene items, blankets, water purification tablets and shelter materials to people in the city of Goma. In the heavily affected area of Biranbibizo, North Kivu, CARE will provide survivors of rape with medical assistance, psychosocial support and help in recovering their ability to provide for themselves and their families.
