MCC - Mennonite Central Committee Canada

Published purpose

November 2024 - Political instability, conflict and natural disasters have left more than 25 million people across the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in need of humanitarian assistance. Populations face insecurity, malnutrition, and limited access to clean water and adequate sanitation. Also, hunger, displacement and conflict increase the risk of sexual and gender-based violence, especially for the most vulnerable. With GAC’s support, the Mennonite Central Committee provides a multi-sectoral response targeting displaced and conflict-affected people in North Kivu, DRC. Project activities include: (1) the provision of multi-purpose cash transfers (2) distribution of emergency non-food items and (3) the provision of protection services to mitigate the increased risk of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) for vulnerable women and girls.
