SOS Children's Villages Republic of Congo
The fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) is one of the bloodiest conflicts the world has known since the Second World War. Families and communities have found themselves without food, water, shelter or other basic services. In the east, the SOS Children’s Village Bukavu is home to over 150 children and a youth facility to over 50 teenagers. Vitally needed educational and medical facilities for the local community are provided through the established SOS nursery and primary school. A medical centre which treats over 9,000 patients annually. In 1994, the village at Bukavu provided a refuge for children who had to be evacuated from the SOS Children's Gikongoro community in neighbouring Rwanda because of the civil war. In the late 1990s, following unrest in the South Kivu region, an emergency relief programme was set up in Uvira to support children who had been abandoned. Many children were reunited with their families but the temporary village was made into a permanent SOS Children's Village providing family homes for 150 children whose parents had been killed in the fighting. SOS Children ran another emergency relief programme in 2002 following the volcanic eruption in Gomo which left thousands homeless. http://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/sponsor-a-child/africa-child-sponsorship/congo.htm
