Mpox: the epicenter of an out-of-control epidemic" (France 2 report)
In the epicenter of the Mpox epidemic, in Kamituga, DRC, ALIMA (The Alliance for International Medical Action) is on the front line against a new strain of the virus. This France 2 report reveals the health and logistical challenges facing our teams on the ground.
Extract from the report "Mpox: the epicenter of an out-of-control epidemic" broadcast on France 2
In this immense country, 4.5 times the size of France, health services are powerless. It's an 8-hour drive over broken tracks to reach Kamituga, the epicenter of this epidemic. It was here, in this mining town, that the new strain of the Mpox virus was first spotted. The NGO ALIMA has set up in a wing of the hospital and is taking care of the sick.
The contagion is simply through direct contact with an infected person, which makes us fear the worst for the huge refugee camps in eastern Congo. In this region, war and fighting have driven 7 million people from their homes.
ALIMA has deployed a rapid and effective response to combat this health crisis. In collaboration with a coalition of local and international partners, ALIMA is implementing an approach based on three pillars: medical care for patients, epidemiological surveillance, and awareness-raising among affected communities.
A big thank you, dear donors, for your donations and your invaluable support!

A revolution in maternity care in Central Africa with the "Wakobo Ti Kodro" project
We have great news to share with you!
Our new project "Wakobo Ti Kodro"transforms maternal care in the Central African Republic by integrating matrons, traditional birth attendants, into the monitoring of high-risk pregnancies thanks to an innovative mobile app.
Our new project "Wakobo Ti Kodro"transforms maternal care in the Central African Republic by integrating matrons, traditional birth attendants, into the monitoring of high-risk pregnancies thanks to an innovative mobile app.
"Wakobo Ti Kodro" aims to improve maternal and child health in a region where mortality rates are among the highest in the world. Around 48% of births take place at home, underscoring the importance of this project. The app provides visual guides and voice alerts, making information accessible even to people with low literacy.
Matrons have been quick to adopt the technology, strengthening their role in the healthcare system. The app has facilitated their integration into health centers, improving the quality of care and management of at-risk pregnancies.
This initiative is an inspiring example of how an innovative, community-based approach can save lives and strengthen local health systems.
The money will be used for
- Save the life of a severely malnourished child on an outpatient basis
- Fund the training of a local caregiver to better diagnose malnutrition
- Train families to prevent malnutrition in their children
- Fund 1 hour of psychological counseling for 1 conflict-affected child
- Offer full treatment for a complicated case of cholera
- Offer all mandatory vaccinations to an infant
