It was a typical day, facing the challenges of living in extreme poverty.
But everything changed when armed conflict between the government and rebels spilled into her tiny community.
Within minutes Nyamuse was a widow, her neighbourhood was in shambles, and her life, along with her children’s, forever changed.
“We had no future. We escaped from one problem to another." Nyamuse, recalling her family’s narrow escape and 96-hour journey without food, water or shelter to a safer area.
This heart-wrenching situation unfolds every day as armed conflict descends on communities, food shortages escalate into famine, disaster makes an area unlivable and opportunities to earn even a meagre income disappear.
When families like Nyamuse’s flee to safer places – usually camps of displaced persons – they arrive with nothing but what they can carry on their backs.
A gift from you will be the first act of kindness a family has experienced in months, perhaps years.
See how you can be hope today!
