This grant is for the purpose of enhancing social welfare infrastructure in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to better support vulnerable families and children. It seeks to fund comprehensive initiatives aimed at developing and fortifying critical services and systemic approaches essential for maintaining family unity and effectively responding to instances where children are separated from their families. The core objective is to mitigate the profound impact of family breakdown on children by fostering environments that actively promote cohesion and provide robust support mechanisms. This includes strengthening existing frameworks, establishing innovative new programs, and building local capacity to ensure the holistic well-being and protection of children, ultimately contributing to more resilient families and thriving communities throughout the DRC.
