CAFOD partners Caritas Goma, Caritas Butembo Beni and Caritas Bukavu are working at the heart of the crisis.

Your money supports our trusted partners working on the ground to provide blankets, pots and pans and plastic sheeting.

CAFOD partner Father Galdino Sakondo says: “Many arrive in need of medical attention. They have nothing at all.

“The refugees have lost all their household goods, such as cooking utensils, blankets, mosquito nets, cloths and of course shelter.

"They are in desperate need of basic support.”

Your gift can make a life or death difference. Please give generously.
