Emergency assistance for vulnerable children in Bukavu

A long-simmering conflict in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is escalating. After the so-called M23 rebels took control of Bukavu (February 2025), the security situation has changed drastically and is currently only slowly calming down. The aim is to support children who are even more at risk than before by providing them with a safe place, food and access to psychological support at the "Centre de Transit d'Ecoute et d'Orientation" (CTEO) run by our local partner organization.
