05 December 2008 - from the Christian Aid web site
Thanks to your support, Christian Aid's partners are helping people caught in the bitter conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Over 250,000 people have fled their homes losing family and possessions on the way. Many are becoming reliant on support from other local families for shelter and food.
Christian Aid's local partners are helping in lots of ways:
distributing food supplies
improving local water supplies and sanitation facilities and providing seeds and tools to help people grow extra food for their families
supporting people to earn vital income and find new livelihoods
providing mobile voluntary HIV testing and counselling
urgently lobbying the UK Government to use their influence to bring peace and civilian protection
Britain must act
Christian Aid needs your donations to respond to this crisis and is also urging the UK government to use its influence to help secure peace in the DRC as escalating violence threatens to plunge the country back into war. Christian Aid believes the British government, as a major donor to the DRC and Rwanda, has a vital and unique role to play in securing peace for DRC and the wider region.
