DRC NORTH KIVU, SOUTH KIVU AND ITURI

The first ANGELS communities of ECOSYSTEM VLG world group appeared in the regions of SOUTH KIVU, NORTH KIVU, KASAÏ and ITURI. Because this is where we encounter some of the most complex and dramatic situations in the world.

We are faced with 3 major concerns which intersect and which sometimes clash.

Local communities that undergo recurring shocks that weaken local solidarity day after day and enclose families or local communities on themselves while they need to collaborate to build a better future for themselves and for them. other. They are faced with multiple difficulties related to the lack of equipment, money, fair justice service, security, supplies of all kinds, … everything that makes a pleasant and sustainable life in their territory. . In this already complex situation, they have to absorb multiple communities of refugees from different backgrounds.

Refugees want to find asylum following armed conflicts, they are mixed in their journey with war criminals who come with their weapons. No one is reliable. The driver of the motorcycle that transports you from one site to another may hold you to ransom. The sensible soldier is protecting you in the end killing you for your money because he no longer receives his pay. Those who have taken refuge in the forest must sleep with gold diggers who take drugs and idle, dead-end youths who prey on you in your sleep. If you have a business in town, you can be kidnapped for ransom at any time.

Climate refugees who, despite warning signs, systematically rebuild on the sites of past disasters, present or announced. These same refugees when they have lost everything are still waiting for help that often does not come or no longer comes with increasingly tense international contexts, increasingly rare donations. And, this aid comes in dribs and drabs and poverty becomes more and more cruel for those who have lost everything. But they are prisoners of mental patterns that even disempower them for their own lives and prevent them from empowering themselves.
