Over three decades now, DR Congo has been merged into unstoppable wars causing approximately 10 million deaths, many women rapt, enrolment of children in army groups, and viability of refugees in neighboring countries.   In the recent clash of the M23 rebel groups in North-Kivu province in DR Congo, we started the Reliance Soul Youth Initiative to empower marginalized communities, especially young refugees, young mothers, and internally displaced persons (IDPs), through arts, vocational training, and charity activities. As conflict affects youth, we recognize the effect of war on individuals causing severe trauma, poverty, and psychosocial disorder. We use art (music, handcraft, body movement, and image) as a healing process to foster social cohesion and inclusion. We aim to achieve self-reliance and sustainability through the Reliance Creative Center, which offers a platform for young people to improve artistic talents, vocational skills, self-discovery, and psychological healing.
