With the current climate change, poor communities in Kinshasa and other places in the Democratic Republic of Congo are victims of flooding, lighting and other consequences caused by rivers. The management of garbage is a problem, the lack of the canalization of water, lack of trees in the communities and the lack of proper ways for the water, and the dumping all bottles in the rivers and among the challenges.
