« Where humanity is in peril, unity is essential »: religious groups mobilize to support Ebola response

In Kinshasa, religious leaders from major faiths gathered on October 1, 2026, at a roundtable organized by Caritas Congo to strengthen community engagement against the 17th Ebola outbreak. They aim to leverage their close ties with communities to improve prevention, awareness, and combat misinformation, stigma, and insecurity hindering the response. Monseigneur Donatien Nshole emphasized that the response must be collective, community-based, coordinated, and participatory, highlighting the vital role of religious groups in Congolese society.
