The DRC is listed as one of the worst places to be a woman or child. Every day over 1,000 women and girls are raped. One in every four pregnant women will die of complications before or during labor. One in every seven children will die before they reach 5 years of age. Girls are often “sold” into marriage before their 13th birthday. 92% of the population believes that violence is a viable form of discipline. 15% of children are required to work for their family’s survival. ¼ of all children are malnourished 400 children die every die from diseases like malaria and diarrhea.
Nevertheless, the DRC is inhabited by some of the most resilient and inspirational people in the world! The strength of these people inspires Redeeming Love Ministries to sacrificially plant God’s Word and compassion in their hearts and watch them bloom in spirit, soul, and body.
