In this press release, World Vision expresses deep concern over a deadly landslide at the Rubaya artisanal mining site in Masisi, North Kivu, which has killed more than 200 people, including an estimated 70 children. Triggered by heavy rainfall, the tragedy highlights the extreme risks faced by communities already affected by conflict, displacement, and poverty. The press release underscores how poorly regulated mining and armed group control of mineral-rich areas continue to expose children to dangerous labour, exploitation, and loss of education, and calls for urgent humanitarian assistance alongside long-term action to address the root causes driving children into hazardous work.

This article highlights how 2,400 children in Bukanga Lonzo, Kwango Province, have officially received birth certificates thanks to advocacy efforts led by World Vision.

The piece underscores the importance of legal identity as a gateway to fundamental rights, including access to education, healthcare and public services. It features testimonies from local leaders, judicial authorities and parents, illustrating both the legal significance and the emotional impact of receiving a birth certificate. Beyond celebrating the milestone, the article also raises awareness about the legal requirement to register children within 90 days of birth and calls for continued collaboration to ensure that every child is recognised, protected and given a fair start in life.
