Description

Caption: Buloze Bugonge receives food assistance from Oasis de la Culture, an MCC partner in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to help her sustain her food supply in the midst of rising prices from COVID-19 and her accident. MCC photo/Kabamba Lwamba


More information: Buloze Bugonge, a mother of five and a victim of militia violence, was displaced from South Kivu Province with her vulnerable household. Almost incapacitated by an auto crash, she received food assistance in the form of maize flour, salt, beans and vegetable oil from Oasis de la Culture.

After she recovered from the accident, Oasis also gave her a field and agricultural tools, including a hoe and a container for keeping seeds and food. Bugonge said, “Because of the food we are getting from our field through Oasis de la Culture, we now look like people who have life. The food grown in the field was very helpful because prices of food in the market had increased because of COVID. This food from the field was very helpful to me and my family.”
