Why This Campaign Matters
Pascaline is a young mother in Beni, Congo. She fled violence after her husband was killed, and she gave birth to twins while in flight. She now cares for the twins and her older daughter while sleeping rough. Systems have stalled. Therefore, survival depends on community redistribution.
Beni currently hosts families displaced from Goma. Many sleep outside in rain and heat. Mothers line up for basic supplies. Because delays compound harm, direct aid keeps children fed and housed while larger structures fail. Mutual aid is not charity. It is a practice of returning resources to those who need them to live.
Who Pascaline Is
She is a Congolese mother of three, including newborn twins. She needs rent for secure shelter, food staples, urgent health items, and a small cushion for transport and phone data. These basics stabilise the family so she can plan the next step.
The Situation in Beni
Overcrowded camps and informal shelters strain water, sanitation, and access to clinics. Prices rise quickly. Consequently, small amounts of cash move the fastest. Rice, beans, oil, soap, and rent money have immediate impact. Community networks on the ground help deliver support with accountability.
How Donations Are Used
Contributions route to Pascaline’s support link on this page. Funds prioritise:
- Shelter and rent in Beni so the babies sleep indoors.
- Food staples such as rice, beans, cooking oil, and infant needs.
- Healthcare and essentials including medicine, hygiene items, and transport to clinics.
- Re-stock for resilience so the household can bridge gaps between distributions.
Supporters who cannot give can still help. Share this page, copy the link, and repost. Visibility brings new contributors, which protects the family.
What Your Solidarity Achieves
It turns distance into care. It pays rent today. It buys food tonight. It covers a clinic visit when a fever rises. Most importantly, it reminds Pascaline that people see her and stand with her.
Contribute what you can through the buttons on this page. If you cannot give, amplify widely. Both actions practice mutual aid and keep this family safe.
