Every day, our team in DRC starts their morning with a security briefing. In World Vision programmes across the world, security briefings save lives, so we take them very seriously.
This is not a story about security briefings, but it kind of also is. Because like most of our work, it's never simple and making an impact in fragile contexts is layered and complex.
We've been wanting to take you to see some of the amazing new projects in IDP camps (Internally Displaced Persons) your gift has helped kick start this year. To meet some of the powerful women and men, boldly standing up to fight Gender-Based Violence (GBV), which is alarmingly prevalent in DRC.
This year, women and men in IDP communities we work with had a strong and unified request — help us fight the GBV through education and mobilising of community awareness groups. Of the many urgent needs facing children, they know that for girls to build a safe future we have to act, now. So we did, with your gift.
We've wanted to show you this incredible work for a while. Thankfully after several security stop/start/go/pause moments, we've got the all clear.
Rodrigue and our team are ready to go, so jump in, this will be a super quick 2min road trip!
