NORTH KIVU, Democratic Republic of Congo -
Thousands of people uprooted by recent violence in eastern Congo are returning home, only to find their houses and crops destroyed. Health centers and schools have been damaged and have had to close. This is the maternity ward at a health center in Niyragongo District that was looted by armed men after local residents fled fighting between rebels and government troops in July. The International Rescue Committee is working in many villages to fix and equip these vital community services.

$24 can ensure critical supplies and assistance that will help make childbirth safer — and happier — for both mother and baby.

All online gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar through December 31.
