“We are in the Rutshuru area today, about a 3-hour drive north-east of Goma, where we saw the efforts of UNICEF to ensure that the population who returned to this village could have access to basic services. We saw a drinking water system, an impressive spring catchment funded by the French government that cost about $300,000 dollars. With this catchment and a water network, we were able to serve several villages, around 30,000 people. And the main hospital in the area where we saw children who had just given birth, women who had caesarean sections, children and mothers treated for malaria and all benefiting from this water system.”

“We spent the day in Minova. It is a peninsula between North Kivu and South Kivu, it is in South Kivu in fact, not far from one of the conflict lines. It is an area with a population of 400,000 people, but they received 200,000 displaced people. And we saw there, firstly, excellent work on the cholera response. 138 treated cases, zero deaths at the treatment centre inside the hospital, but above all, case detection at the community level, prevention and community engagement to avoid the transmission of cases. And we saw a program in terms of protection of women, whether they are women from Minova or displaced women. They gather and talk about their situation, their problems, the anxieties they have, sexual violence, domestic violence, economic problems.”
