Challenge

In war-torn states hurt by climate, scant hope for new funds More than 360 villages and 36 districts were flooded throughout the country, affecting more than 320,000 people. At least 17 people have died and 6 remain missing. Urban planners are concerned by the scale of the disaster, and have called for collective responsibility. A state of humanitarian emergency has been announced in the Republic of Congo, following flooding caused by heavy rains that's been pouring for over a month.

Solution

This project will make it possible to meet emergency needs for some of the people most affected by the flood in the DRC. Our team works permanently with a project manager in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Long-Term Impact

As the effects of climate change become more visible, extreme weather events are becoming more common. The effects of flooding on health are understood but the long-term impact on the well-being of those affected need to be considered. Long term impacts - The project will provide Foods and Clean water - The project will harm lives by providing medical products -The project will provide reconstruction of some destroyed houses
