August 2021 Trip Report

In August of 2021, DR Congoaid Chairman Emmanuel Cibasu traveled to DR Congo to distribute clothing, bedding, food, sanitary kits, diapers and other much-needed supplies purchased with our donors' generous contributions. The children and elderly were particularly excited to get new beds with new, clean mattresses and sheets, but also welcomed the new clothes enthusiastically.

We were also able to pay for surgeries, hospital stays, and burials, as well as helping small businesses run by widows and widowers.

Check out the pictures below to see what your donations can do!
