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:
  • 62% of the population live in extreme poverty on less than $2.15 a day
  • about 10 million people require immediate humanitarian assistance
  • about 33 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 11% of all global malaria deaths occur here

Shots could be heard from 6:00am. They are getting closer by the hour. The rebels have entered Ntamugenga. There are casualties. The biggest battle since the beginning of the war that the missionaries can remember is in progress.

Sister Agnieszka coordinates the work of the hospital. The number of wounded is increasing. More bombs explode around the hospital. One fell right next to the wall around the Sisters’ mission.

Today we need to keep our thoughts and prayers with the missionaries and the team of our hospital in Congo. These are very difficult moments for all of us.

Israel has entered Lebanon. Our beneficiaries and thousands of residents in southern Lebanon are no longer safe.

Urgent Help for Lebanon

“This is not our war,” the people of Lebanon tell us in despair. “We have become hostages. We are completely powerless.” When people are being hurt, we cannot wait. We must act immediately!
