The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has spent decades in the grip of violent armed conflict, recurrent health and food crises and economic unrest. Security and health situation has severely deteriorated since 2000, displacing over 10 million people and leaving 25 million in need of humanitarian assistance. In the DRC, children, girls and women and face widespread violence, various diseases and malnutrition, and many people are extorted, kidnapped, and forced by their captors to fight or work.
Since its founding in the Democratic Republic of Congo, SAVE CONGO has helped vulnerable persons meet their emergency needs and provided them with health care and development support to rebuild their lives. We provide direct-access support to the most vulnerable people in the DRC including abandoned children, malnourished pregnant and breastfeeding women, single mothers, survivors of gender-based violence, indigenous Peoples and Local Community (IP&LC), people living with disabilities, AIDS orphans, internally displaced persons, refugees, victims of cruel and inhuman treatment and, homeless and old persons.
