10/16/2024 Two days after Kanyere’s family celebrated a peaceful Christmas last year, terror seized their village in the middle of the night.
Islamic extremists stormed into their Christian community in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and indiscriminately fired their guns and bombed a truck. Two of Kanyere’s children died in the attack. Several bullets also struck Kanyere’s legs. Moments later, the attackers kidnapped her husband and fled.
After the attack, villagers rushed Kanyere to the nearest hospital, which was two hours away. After doctors stabilized her, she could not receive the full treatment because she lacked the funds to pay for it. Desperate for help, Kanyere crossed into Uganda. That’s where ICC met her and heard her story.
In today’s video, you’ll hear how we helped her—because of your generous donations. You’ll also hear Kanyere’s response to the help she received. I know her story will inspire you as it has me.
