From earthquakes to landslides, Nanda Budha reflects on leading humanitarian responses and standing with communities in crisis.

In Kolwezi, Lualaba province, the cholera outbreak is not only claiming lives in the hospital. It is also claiming lives in people’s homes, but silently. Since December 2025, the Manika health zone has been facing a health crisis. But a genuine chain of solidarity has emerged. With support from World Vision DRC, through the NEPRF (National Emergency Preparedness and Response Fund), an internal emergency fund used to rapidly mobilise humanitarian aid during disasters, courageous community volunteers, such as Nicole, are going door-to-door to raise awareness, disinfect, distribute chlorine, and refer the sick to treatment centres. The result? Over 7,000 people have been reached. More than 100 kg of chlorine has been distributed. Community mobilisation is our best weapon against cholera. Because saving lives starts with a simple act: informing to protect.
