Dr. Elisabeth MISHIKA | From Survival To Governance
Dr. Elisabeth Mishika, founder of the Fondation Elisabeth Mishika (FEM), presents early detection protocols for breast cancer during a community awareness session organized by her foundation in Goma, North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo, on March 21, 2026. Behind her, a projected slide reads: "Prendre soin de ses seins Agir tôt"Take care of your breasts, act early. Through FEM's dedicated treatment center, Dr. Mishika has provided free care to more than 500 women, creating a sanctuary of healing in a region where conflict and poverty have made access to cancer screening nearly impossible. Globally, breast cancer remains the most common cancer among women, with Sub-Saharan Africa recording some of the highest mortality rates due to late diagnosis and limited healthcare infrastructure. ©Isaac Bujirwa | Sote Pamoja DRC & FCRJ London

What These Hands Have Built | From Survival To Governance
Faulestine Mutsindu, coordinator of FIPROS, holds dried sweet potato pieces used in the flour production process in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo, on March 27, 2026. The sweet potato flour program she has developed through FIPROS transforms a locally available crop into a source of income, nutrition, and dignity for women survivors of conflict in eastern DRC a region where decades of armed violence have systematically dismantled livelihoods and pushed women-headed households into extreme vulnerability. International advocates say such survivor-centered economic models remain critically underfunded despite their proven impact. ©Isaac Bujirwa | Sote Pamoja DRC & FCRJ London

Her Own Market, Her Own Peace | From Survival To Governance
Faulestine Mutsindu, coordinator of FIPROS, tends to her small shop in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo, on March 27, 2026. Beyond her humanitarian and peacebuilding work, Mutsindu herself embodies the resilience she advocates for managing her own small business while simultaneously coordinating community-based conflict prevention, youth civic engagement, and women's leadership programs across North Kivu. Her dual role as activist and entrepreneur reflects a broader truth that women in eastern DRC are not passive victims of conflict but active builders of their own futures, even in the most adverse conditions. ©Isaac Bujirwa | Sote Pamoja DRC & FCRJ London

A Room Full of Courage | From Survival To Governance
Women participants raise their hands and hold informational booklets during a breast and cervical cancer awareness session organized by Dr. Elisabeth Mishika and the Fondation Elisabeth Mishika (FEM) in Goma, North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo, on March 21, 2026. The packed room reflects a growing demand for accessible health education in a region where the ongoing armed conflict has devastated public healthcare infrastructure and left millions of women without basic medical services. Dr. Mishika's foundation which has treated more than 500 women free of charge stands as one of the few dedicated cancer care refuges in eastern DRC, offering prevention, treatment, and community solidarity in equal measure. ©Isaac Bujirwa | Sote Pamoja DRC & FCRJ London

Every Word Counts | From Survival To Governance
A participant takes careful notes during a breast and cervical cancer awareness session organized by Dr. Elisabeth Mishika and the Fondation Elisabeth Mishika (FEM) in Goma, North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo, on March 21, 2026. The image captures the quiet intensity of women determined to learn, protect themselves, and carry this knowledge back to their communities many of which remain cut off from formal healthcare systems due to ongoing conflict in North Kivu. For Dr. Mishika, such moments embody the core mission of FEM: that every woman who leaves better informed becomes a potential lifeline for others, multiplying the reach of care far beyond the walls of any clinic or conference room. ©Isaac Bujirwa | Sote Pamoja DRC & FCRJ London
