The “Lisanga” humanitarian project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) represents a glimmer of hope in a context marked by violence and massive population displacements. This initiative aims to improve the living conditions of displaced people in the Kwamouth territory and to promote peaceful coexistence between the different communities affected by the conflict.
Recently launched in Mbankana, a district of Maluku, the “Lisanga” project is the result of a collaboration between several humanitarian organizations and benefits from funding from the Directorate-General of the European Commission in charge of humanitarian aid. With a substantial budget, this program aims to support 30,000 people, including 2,000 agricultural households, over a period of two years.
The implementation of the “Lisanga” project is based on a consortium of organizations committed to community protection, social cohesion, the revival of livelihoods, primary health, the fight against gender-based violence, nutrition and emergency education. This comprehensive approach aims to meet the essential needs of affected populations and strengthen their resilience in the face of crises.
In this regard, the testimonies of the beneficiaries reflect the positive impact of the “Lisanga” project on their daily lives. Targeted initiatives in agriculture, education, health and social welfare inspire a sense of gratitude and hope within affected communities. The beneficiaries see this project as an opportunity for reconstruction and reconciliation after years of tumult and suffering.
Furthermore, the support of local authorities, donors and humanitarian actors is crucial to ensure the success and sustainability of the “Lisanga” project. It is essential to mobilize all necessary resources to respond to the urgent needs of displaced populations and promote an environment conducive to peaceful coexistence and sustainable development.
Ultimately, the “Lisanga” project embodies a concerted effort in favor of solidarity, compassion and reconstruction in areas scarred by conflict and violence. By joining forces and resources, the actors involved in this project are helping to build a better future for vulnerable communities in the DRC and laying the foundations for lasting and inclusive peace.
