Congo Crisis: Urgent Action Needed to Save Lives

The situation in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has reached a critical point. Fighting has intensified dramatically in recent weeks as the anti-government armed group March 23 Movement (M23) has advanced further into the country, culminating in the recent fall of Bukavu, a city of 1.3 million people.

 As M23 militants push further into the region, civilians are caught in the crossfire. Reports of attacks, looting, sexual violence, forced recruitment of child soldiers, and other atrocities are increasing. Thousands of people have already fled their homes, seeking safety as internally displaced persons (IDPs) or refugees in neighboring countries. This escalating violence has created a desperate humanitarian crisis, with thousands in urgent need of food, shelter, and medical care.

 

Humanitarian Aid and Provision of Essentials Must Proceed Simultaneously

Terra Renaissance is on the ground, working to provide life-saving assistance to those affected by this crisis. With over 18 years of experience supporting conflict-affected communities in the DRC, we are uniquely positioned to respond quickly and effectively.

Our team is working to

  • Provide emergency medical care to casualties.
  • Deliver essential supplies like food, water, and shelter to displaced families.
  • Support the long-term recovery of communities once the fighting subsides. 

But we cannot do this alone. We urgently need your help.

Your generous donation will directly support our efforts to:

  • Provide life-saving assistance to those caught in the crossfire.
  • Protect vulnerable civilians from further violence and abuse.
  • Deliver critical humanitarian aid to displaced families in desperate need.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. Your support will directly provide food, shelter, medical care, and other essential aid to those who need it most. Every second counts. Donate now.
