The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been plagued by decades of war. Hands at Work has been serving in DRC communities devastated by this unrest since 2006. The north-eastern province around the city of Goma has continued to experience the constant threat of rebel attacks and war. The level of violence has increased over recent months, affecting communities where Hands at Work serves, resulting in children and their families having to flee their villages for their own safety. This escalating instability around Goma is highlighting the reality that families in the DRC face. They are fighting for their daily survival. 

Hands at Work has a local team on the ground in Goma who are directly responding to this crisis, working around the clock to ensure the children and their families have a safe place to shelter and providing the essentials of daily meals and basic healthcare. The faithful volunteer Care Workers in each of the communities continue to risk their own safety to ensure the children are protected and cared for.

Would you partner with Hands at Work to bring stability to the communities affected by crises like this? The reality is that what is currently happening in and around Goma is a glimpse at the widespread vulnerability and instability of this war-torn country.

BE A PART OF HELPING US BRING RELIEF TO THE MOST VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND COMMUNITIES DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY CRISES LIKE THIS.
