Dokter Denis Mukwege, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
You, Doctor Mukwege and Mamas for Africa: one team!
Doctor Denis Mukwege. Does this Nobel Peace Prize laureate need any more introduction? He is a gynaecologist and an expert on sexual violence in conflict zones. At his Panzi hospital in Bukavu, women receive free medical care.(continue reading below the photo)
Last week, Doctor Mukwege received a delegation from Mamas for Africa in his office in Panzi. Here he pressed us: ‘The work of Mamas for Africa,’ made possible thanks to you and our other donors, ‘that work is an important element of the fragile relief efforts in East Congo.’
Through our outreach, which we provide thanks to your support, we are a reliable beacon in a troubled East Congo.
Anke Dumez, director Mamas for Africa: ‘When Doctor Mukwege talks about Congo, I get a lump in my throat. In his story, he takes us to the richest country in the world, full of resources. To the most beautiful nature, to parks where tourists come to marvel at extraordinary gorillas.
He also talks about women who really can make the world a more beautiful place. About togetherness.
If you close your eyes, you can see it right in front of you. Because it's a Congo that exists somewhere. That can really exist. But that remains hidden under a veil of insecurity, injustice, poverty.’
Doctor Mukwege wants things to be different. That his story doesn't just make his countrymen dream, but that it becomes reality.
Together with you, we keep going. We truly believe that together we contribute to a better future of eastern Congo. And if Doctor Mukwege believes in this, why don't you too?
