DR Congo
Food for children
In Kwango Province, many families cannot afford even one meal a day. Children are particularly affected: Currently, almost 40 percent of young children are severely malnourished. In view of this emergency, the women's federation of our partner church became active: In the "Centre de Malnutrition," volunteers care for about 120 malnourished children and their mothers twice a week. In addition to meals of soy, cassava, vegetables and proteins, the women and children also receive medical examinations and medication.
The center could be built, among other things, thanks to the contributions of our donors. But the need is greater than the supply - please join us in supporting the people of Kwango!

Mission - Colonialism Revisited
Mission 21 brings the multi-layered history of mission, colonialism and slavery into focus in order to sharpen the focus for the current social debate on racism and discrimination. A series of events explores the tensions of Christian missionary societies in the context of slavery and colonialism. In the web dossier Mission - Slavery - Colonialism Revisited you will also find interesting background material on the events. You can watch the recordings of the webinars afterwards.
