In the war-torn east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, thousands of children have been orphaned by ongoing massacres and left vulnerable to trauma and despair. Through faith-based initiatives like the Let the Children Come program, local heroes like Hélène offer shelter, psychosocial support, and Bible study groups that help heal deep emotional wounds. Stories like Isaac’s, who regained his voice after years of silence, show how hope and resilience are being rebuilt, even as the urgent needs of countless others remain.

In many parts of Zambia, children continue to face significant challenges that threaten their safety, development, and future. Early marriages, teen pregnancies, and harmful cultural practices remain deeply rooted in some communities, often compounded by weak child protection systems and limited access to support services. These issues not only jeopardise the well-being of boys and girls but also hinder broader efforts toward sustainable development and social cohesion.

Dr Kathryn Kraft, Global Research Technical Director, provides insight about how Faith-based intangibles—like spiritual resilience, moral authority, and empathy—are powerful yet often overlooked drivers of peacebuilding. She reflects on how integrating these unseen forces into humanitarian programming can deepen impact and foster more authentic, community-rooted change, especially in humanitarian responses.
