In this press release, World Vision expresses deep concern over a deadly landslide at the Rubaya artisanal mining site in Masisi, North Kivu, which has killed more than 200 people, including an estimated 70 children. Triggered by heavy rainfall, the tragedy highlights the extreme risks faced by communities already affected by conflict, displacement, and poverty. The press release underscores how poorly regulated mining and armed group control of mineral-rich areas continue to expose children to dangerous labour, exploitation, and loss of education, and calls for urgent humanitarian assistance alongside long-term action to address the root causes driving children into hazardous work.

This story highlights the urgent challenge of child hunger and education in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where more than 29 million students are enrolled for the 2025–2026 school year, yet only a fraction benefit from school feeding programmes. Through the voices of Valence and Jean, two 11-year-old pupils at TCHABILWA Primary School in Kalemie, Tanganyika Province, the article brings statistics to life. For them, a hot meal at school is more than food; it is energy to learn, play, and dream. Their joy reflects the impact of World Vision’s school feeding programme, which reached 74,731 children in Kasai and Tanganyika during the 2025 fiscal year. The results are encouraging: school enrolment in supported schools has significantly increased, especially among girls. Yet the needs remain overwhelming. Attendance gaps, dropouts, and the millions of children still unreached reveal the scale of the crisis. Ultimately, the story is both hopeful and urgent, showing how a simple meal can keep a child in class, while calling for greater investment and partnerships to ensure that many more children across the DRC are not left behind
