Shaiie Cares in partnership with Concern Worldwide

In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), over 27 million people do not have enough to eat. It is one of the world’s biggest hunger crisis.

Despite being rich in natural resources, decades of violent conflict have left the DRC as one of the poorest countries in the world. On top of this instability, which has caused millions to flee their homes and lose their livelihoods, the impact Covid-19 has increased food prices - causing one in three people in the country to go hungry. 

There are now more people facing a severe hunger crisis in the DRC than has ever been recorded in any country. Many of them are young children. Our teams are working to get emergency food to children facing hunger, and provide training and support to families to help them rebuild their livelihoods.

Will you help us reach people in the Democratic Republic of Congo with the support they need to survive this crisis?

A Few reason to help tackle poverty in the Democratic Republic of Congo:

  • 2% of people in DRC are living in extreme poverty

  • In 2020, Concern World wide offered training and/or cash grants to help 15,000 people rebuild their livelihoods

  • Giving £12 could pay for a 13-day supply of therapeutic food for a malnourished child but what you can will also make a difference too.
