Heroes in DR Congo
We’re immensely grateful for the heroes in society - those who put their lives at risk for the greater good of humanity.
Whether they're helping to fight coronavirus here in Scotland, or supporting victims of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Our partners in DR Congo do their best to make the world a better place – in challenging, heart-breaking, and often dangerous circumstances.

Together, they are our heroes.
