"Forgotten Refugees of the World - Democratic Republic of Congo"


4 of 9

Children gather drinking water in Lake Tanganika, which separates the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Burundi. The region is mostly forgotten by the western world and lawlessness, disease and poverty thrive as a result. Those who drink from the lake often come down with cholera, a disease that is this part of the world is all but a death sentence.
