"DR Congo at the moment is one of the worst places in which to be born and to grow up" Secretary of State for International Development (Hilary Benn). There are more than 250,000 homeless children in the DRC. [I would also like to raise the ongoing and acute humanitarian needs of millions of Congolese. Misery and deprivation remain a fact of life for too many Congolese. Hilary Benn 11th September 2006, on his return from a visit to DR Congo]
There was a debate in Parliament 'Street Children in DR Congo'on Wednesday the 18th October 2006. All the MPs who spoke, most of whom have visited DR Congo this year, gave a very depressing picture of life in DR Congo and offered no hope as to how to end the relentless cycle of civil strife, poverty, corruption, lack of health care, lack of state care, a hopeless infrastructure."
