Golden light kissed shattered homes where memories slept beneath the mud. A red teddy bear lay silent in the ruins, carrying the echoes of childhood dreams swept away by the flood. I lost a shoe to the sludge, but thousands lost their homes, their safety, and the ordinary tomorrows they once imagined. Yet resilience rose like a river reed through the silt, bending beneath the torrent but refusing to break, as Bimala, a mother of a sponsored child, walked forward with quiet courage.

As Ebola cases continue to rise across eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, the humanitarian response is at a critical turning point. In a recent media interview with Al Jazeera Media Network, World Vision DRC's East Zone Director, David Munkley, warned that the outbreak has exceeded all expectations, with daily cases increasing dramatically and the disease spreading into new health zones. He highlighted the urgent need for greater investment in prevention, community engagement and frontline health services, stressing that trusted local voices - including faith leaders, schools, community leaders and health workers - are essential to building confidence and helping communities adopt life-saving measures. Above all, he called for stronger support to protect children and families who remain at the heart of this crisis. Watch the full interview below and join us in raising awareness of the urgent need for collective action.
