Episcopal Relief & Development partners with the dioceses of Aru and Bukavu in the Province of the Anglican Church of the Congo (PEAC) and in the Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to address violence against women and support communities displaced by conflict
We partner with local dioceses to educate their communities on preventing violence against women and to break down barriers that prevent women survivors from getting the support and justice they deserve. Survivors receive immediate medical care, trauma counseling and legal representation in court. Our work began as a pilot project with the Diocese of Aru. With our support, the Diocese of Bukavu has launched a similar program.
Armed conflict and land disputes have displaced millions across South Sudan and Eastern Congo. Episcopal Relief & Development works with local dioceses to provide essential services like healthcare, clean water, nutritious food, secure housing and access to education.
Working with displaced populations and host communities strengthens social bonds and promotes healing, stability and resilience.
