MutimaAfrica

Today we share very sad news.

The teams of Coopera Congo and Mutima – Centre Psychosocial announce the death of our beneficiary Bishweka Ntabidula, which occurred this Saturday, February 7, 2026, in Katana (Chahoboka).

Bishweka was part of our psychosocial support program. His journey, his resilience, and his presence are part of the story of our community.

In the photo, he is pictured alongside our psychologist Diudonné, who regularly visited him together with our psychosocial assistant, Jolie. Their commitment reflects the heart of our mission: going where people are, staying present, and offering human support in fragile and vulnerable contexts.

In regions affected by conflict and instability, every life matters. Every loss is deeply felt.

On behalf of Coopera Congo and Mutima, we extend our sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.

We remain committed to continuing this work — with dignity, courage, and humanity.

💔 Found beside his mother’s body

In Kavumu (South Kivu), an elderly couple found this little boy alone in the forest.
His mother had been killed two months earlier during the clashes.
They were collecting charcoal when they heard him cry.
No one ever came looking for him.

The man, almost 70, insisted on keeping the child.
His wife, exhausted, takes care of him with the little they have.
They live in a small mud house — too weak to work, with no milk to feed him.

Herman, the psychologist, and James, the psychosocial assistant, made a home visit to teach them how to regulate their nervous system after trauma.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Mutima team is preparing how to support them beyond the humanitarian aid kit they will soon receive:
🍚 food, 🛏️ blankets, 🍲 cooking pots, and 🌧️ plastic sheets for the rain.

🇨🇩✨ New vests, same mission: caring for others.

These vests symbolize our commitment to making this often invisible work visible — strengthening unity and reminding everyone that caring for yourself is already caring for the collective. 💚
