The Democratic Republic of Congo is a country with complex needs. Here, we work with some of the world’s most vulnerable children. But we also work in more stable areas of the country where we can implement child sponsorship programs.

Country Details

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is a country with complex needs. Here, we work with some of the world’s most vulnerable children. But we also work in more stable areas of the country where we can implement child sponsorship programs.
World Vision DRC

Internal conflict and prolonged political instability have destabilized and weakened the already fragile economic conditions for families in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where 60 per cent of the population lives on less than $1 per day. Vulnerable families are also affected by frequent natural disasters, such as flooding and epidemics.

Our teams have been working in the DRC since 1984. Today, we are working to contribute to the measurable and sustainable improvement of well-being for 5,311,208 children and their communities through transformational development and humanitarian relief programmes focused on: health and nutrition, education, water and sanitation, protecting children, livelihoods and resilience, food assistance, psychosocial support and the reintegration of displaced people.
