Around the world, multiple crises are unfolding
Globally, conflict, political instability, forced migration and the climate emergency continue to cause great distress for people already living in poverty.
Urgent appeal
Globally, conflict, political instability, forced migration and the climate emergency continue to cause great distress for people already living in poverty.
Marie’s husband died in a landslide caused by floods that swept through her region in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). She is now raising her children alone. ‘Now life has turned dark for me with the whole family,’ Marie told us. ‘The day of the floods, my husband died and we lost everything. The children ran away in different directions.’
For families like Marie’s in the DRC, suffering is being compounded by crisis upon crisis – armed conflict, climate shocks, widespread displacement and cholera outbreaks declared across six provinces.
The suffering around the world right now is hard to comprehend. Yet, the church is continuing to transform communities where the need is greatest.
Poverty is not God’s plan. You are. And your urgent gift today will help end suffering for families around the world and bring lasting transformation to communities through the local church.
