Democratic Republic of Congo

The second largest country of Africa, full of paradoxes. On one hand, it is rich in natural resources (including cobalt, copper, coltan, crude oil, diamonds, gold); on the other hand, its inhabitants are among the poorest in the world. For decades, the DRC has been suffering from prolonged conflicts that have led to one of the most severe humanitarian crises in the world.

Overview:
  • 77% of the population live in extreme poverty for less than $1.90 a day
  • 16% of the country’s population, i.e. over 13 million people, require immediate humanitarian assistance
  • 13,6 million people are deprived of access to safe water sources and proper sanitary and hygienic facilities
  • numerous outbreaks of deadly diseases, including measles, malaria, cholera and Ebola
  • about 10% of all malaria deaths in sub-Saharan Africa occurred here

Friends,

I would like to thank you sincerely for the incredible support I have received for my education in the field of ultrasonography. Thanks to your donations for a total of PLN 4,918, it was possible to fully fund my enrollment in a course organised by doctors from the French Ecole d’Échographie Sans Frontières.

This extremely important course will end with an exam and a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Ultrasound. Your support will allow us to be more effective in helping the patients of Ntamugenga Hospital, especially the youngest ones. Thank you for every gesture of kindness and every amount donated. Together, we are making history with a real impact on the health and lives of many of our patients.

From the depths of my heart,

Augustine
