The Central African Republic has faced conflict for almost a decade, and it continues today despite peace agreements. These years of instability have displaced 300,000 people and stunted the nation’s growth. The International Rescue Committee is helping the people of CAR to rebuild their lives in healthy, safe and productive communities that will lay a foundation for the country’s future.
