What you’re funding
Devastating floods and landslides in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have killed hundreds of people and left over 400,000 families in need of life-saving aid.
Global fund teams are already on the ground supporting emergency relief activities.
You can help, too.
ABOUT
Hefty flooding, which has destroyed thousands of homes, affected 15 of 26 provinces in the DRC. Schools, health facilities, and crop fields have also been damaged, worsening the plight of vulnerable communities. Despite challenges, humanitarians are assessing the damage and the most pressing needs of affected communities, including food, water, shelter, and health care.
This disaster comes on top of the substantial humanitarian challenges many people in the DRC already face, including conflicts, displacement, epidemics, food insecurity, and malnutrition.
Your contributions will go to the DRC Humanitarian Fund, the most efficient way to support humanitarian action in the country directly.

About Global Fund for Humanity
Global Fund for Humanity gives donors a way to back urgent relief without losing sight of the longer haul. You can direct support toward crises like Gaza, Sudan, Haiti, and Myanmar, or toward causes such as climate action, refugees, workers rights, women and girls, and trans rights. The through line is simple: help people facing conflict, disaster, displacement, poverty, and rights violations with resources that are useful right away and still matter later.
What sets Global Fund for Humanity apart is the range of specific causes and emergency funds it offers, so donors are not stuck with a vague general appeal. One gift can go to immediate needs like medical supplies, food, and shelter, while another can support rebuilding, legal aid, advocacy, or community development.
