Extra information: On Nov. 20, MCC’s partner Communauté des Églises de Frères Mennonites au Congo/Mennonite Brethren Church of Congo (CEFMC), distributed the food rations and non-food items, including tarps, to 180 internally displaced families in Kikwit district, Kwilu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Among the recipients is Christine Ndaya, who is displaced from Mbuji-Mayi in the Kasai region and is staying in Kikwit, along with many other internally displaced people. She is pregnant and has three children, who are also benefitting from the food assistance.
On November 28, another partner, Communauté Mennonite au Congo/Mennonite Church of Congo (CMCO), will provide one month of food assistance and non-food items for 280 households of internally displaced people still in the Kasai region.
Armed conflict erupted in the Kasai region in August 2016 in the Kasai Central Province between a local militia group and national security forces and has forced nearly four million people from their homes. MCC photo/Fidele Kyanza
