Our work
Ten years of war in the Democratic Republic of Congo have left a legacy of poverty, displacement, violence and corruption. Against that backdrop, Christian Aid’s partners help communities to rebuild their lives and futures. Together we support human rights, peace and democracy training, HIV and AIDS education, credit schemes, livelihoods training and women who have suffered sexual violence.
