As the festive season approaches, a time traditionally marked by tidings of peace and joy, we invite you to consider the reality of those facing unimaginable hardship due to violence.
Chance, a mother of eight from the Democratic Republic of Congo: ‘As soon as this baby was born, we started to flee. He doesn’t know anything yet, except coming into the world as bombs are dropping.’
When Chance escaped armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), her baby wore only a nappy. As Chance waits for peace in a shelter, it's a struggle to provide for her young children.
Chance isn’t the only one displaced and struggling to provide for her family. ‘Here in the camp, we need food and financial assistance... We have nothing at all.’
Funds raised this Christmas could fund nutritious meals, medicine, blankets and other essential supplies mothers like Chance need to survive.
