In DRC (Kinshasa), between 4th and 11th April 2025, unusual heavy rainfall that started during the last week of March continued into early April. The Congo River waters overflowed, reaching their highest level in six decades, causing one of its tributaries, the Ndjili River, to burst its banks.

The torrential heavy rains and landslides caused severe widespread destruction in Kinshasa, the capital city of the Democratic Republic of Congo, affecting about half of the capital city’s population of about 18 million people (13 out of 26 districts).

ACT Alliance Forum member in DRC, The Church of Christ in Congo plans to respond to the immediate needs of affected communities in Kinshasa.
