While many of us share a joyful and peaceful Christmas in our homes and churches, we invite you to consider families like Chance’s — facing unimaginable hardship after fleeing violence.
When fighting reached her village (Minova, on the shores of Lake Kivu, East Democratic Republic of Congo), Chance made an impossible choice: stay and risk her children’s lives, or flee everything they've known.
She set out on foot with her children — her baby strapped to her back — walking for days to reach safety.
The family’s treacherous trek took its toll on everyone. But for a mother determined to protect her family, stopping wasn’t an option.
While fleeing, my baby and other children all fell ill, even myself, because I had given birth by caesarean section. The wound opened because I was carrying luggage.’ - Chance.
Help mothers who’ve lost everything protect their families: Your donation this Christmas could make an immediate difference by funding cash grants that save lives. Help mothers like Chance buy nutritious food, vital medicines and hygiene products.
