         Kisimba remembers waking to sounds of gunfire edging closer to her home in thesoutheastern village of Tundwa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as she preparedfish for dinner. “We knew we had no time to lose,” she says, “I grabbed the childrenand ran into the forest.” The next morning, they decided to flee. Kisimba’s story ishauntingly familiar across the DRC, where endless violence has uprooted millions fromtheir homes. The unrest has also deepened hunger and malnutrition in the region,forcing families to abandon their farms.
          Kisimba’s family moved to a relatively safe town, Kalemie, near Lake Tanganyika,where they had a completely different life. Kisimba and her husband had been feedingtheir children from the crops they grew. In Kalemie, the only work they could find wascrushing stones by hand for small-scale constructions. The couple crushed stones fromdawn to nightfall. Yet, they didn’t earn enough for food. They ended up just eatingcassava leaves with salt. Cassava is a popular root vegetable in Congo, but they couldnot even afford the root.
         Five years later, the couple were left with no choice but to return to their village.They arrived in Tundwa exhausted and weak and found their worst fears confirmed.The house had been burned down and everything was gone—the crops, the animalsthey had, and even the cooking pots.
         At that time the World Food Programme (WFP) was starting a cash assistanceprogram for returnees. Kisimba’s family was eligible and collected cash of US$100from WFP. They paid neighbors to help clear new land to expand their harvests ofmaize, cassava, and beans. They also invested in hens and goats as insurance againsthard times.
        The investments paid off. The family now sell their surplus crops, and the profitsensure a varied diet. They have also bought a mini solar panel, which brings inmoney—neighbors pay them a small fee to charge their phones. Kisimba now feelsrelieved when she sees her children running around after they finish their meals.
         Special thanks go to the donors from many countries behind our cashassistance programs, including the European Union, the UK, Sweden, andGermany. Their generosity has made Kisimba’s dream come true.
