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.

No one should be hungry. For a child to go hungry is unacceptable! In the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is being torn apart at this very moment by the rebel fighting, more and more children need to be saved.
It is really enough to have been in Ntamugenga for even a moment to realise that in the hospital and nutrition centre run by the Sisters of the Angels, the inhabitants of the surrounding villages receive so much good that they have not experienced anywhere else, perhaps not even in their entire lives. North Kivu is not a kind place to its inhabitants or anyone who tries to venture here. Endless wars and rebellions clip the wings of the people, take away their dreams and ruin absolutely everything.
A child’s hunger is very different to that of an adult. An adult can rebuild their strength, a child who does not get enough food develops poorly and will never be what they could have become.
Thanks to you, our centre in Congo is one of the last in the entire province and has never yet run out of medicines, IVs or food, even though there have been some drastic situations.
On Children’s Day we are asking you to help us replenish our stock of food and specialist milk!!!
Feed a hungry child with us. Make their greatest dream come true!

For Fabien, born in the heart of the Congolese bush, this diagnosis could mean a slow death from starvation and dehydration. His mother was at a loss—her son […]

A woman who loses her husband is called a widow. A child who loses their parents becomes an orphan. We have words for so many things, but there is no word for a parent who loses a child. Perhaps it’s because such a reversal of the natural order is beyond what our hearts, let alone […]

When I was leaving for tests with other patients, I asked the physiotherapist to bring Dawid some juice – maybe he will wake up from this coma, maybe he will be thirsty? The news of Dawid’s passing reached Sister Agnieszka the same day. She had fought for him for many months, providing him with treatment […]
