The Congolese people have been subjected to several aggravating factors

throughout the country, including the persistence of challenges, the fra-

gility of the social fabric, and the epidemiological situation, deterioration

of the food situation, precarious socioeconomic conditions, natural disas-

ters, continued activity of armed groups, and so on.

ADRA works with the Congolese people; the history of these people, which

was once catastrophic, has begun to change for the better. Today, it is

thanks to the BUREKA Project, a multi-sectoral approach put in place with

USAID/BHA funds, that more than 63000 vulnerable people have received

assistance to improve their quality of life through agriculture, economic

development, food assistance, hygiene, and clean water, all while pro-

moting a safe and favorable environment for women, children, and the

elderly.

ADRA continues to assist vulnerable people and will not stop. Several fam-

ilies are regaining their joy of life and smile because of this assistance.
