People, place and practical support
A concern for displaced families in North Kivu.
North Kivu is a province in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. UNHCR identifies it among the areas affected by internal displacement; it is a region containing many communities, rather than one refugee camp.
Displacement can unsettle the routines that hold family life together. OWAID's priorities of education, housing and health offer a way to think about practical support while keeping the dignity of children, widows and caregivers at the centre.
OWAID can discuss its current outreach to displaced Congolese families and whether opportunities relate to North Kivu. Our regional concern is rooted in Christian compassion and a commitment to people of all backgrounds.

Care for families facing displacement.

You can help through a one-time gift, ongoing support, fundraising or an appropriate partnership. The team can discuss a program’s scope, budget and the information available to supporters.
