Goma - Bobo Mobile

Goma, the capital of North Kivu province in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, has been at the centre of fighting that has ravaged the region since 1998. Conflict has brought widespread poverty to North Kivu, making it hard for parents to support their children, and eroding the role that extended family have traditionally played in bringing up orphans. Since March 2017, MSF has run a project for children and teenagers living on the streets of Goma, providing medical and psychosocial care to street children who are exposed to violence, sexual, physical, and psychological abuse. MSF is also supporting social reintegration through referrals to local child protection structures or family reunification processes.
