Democratic Republic of the Congo: families torn apart by the conflict never lose hope
As part of its mandate, the ICRC works to reunite family members separated by conflict. In North Kivu, as in most war-torn areas, this often involves registering unaccompanied children and advising distraught parents.

Thirteen-year-old Ushindi Riziki is one of the children staying at the centre run by Pastor Patrick Senzoga Bihuri in Goma. “I came from Kiwanja with my sisters. We left on our own because our mother was in the fields and our father wasn’t there. On the way, we met other children who said that the pastor was taking in children who were alone. So we came here. I don't know whether I will find my parents again – one day, perhaps."
