STORYLINE:
Clarisse Ishimwe proudly carries her child who has just been cured of Mpox disease at the Bushagara site for displaced persons, near Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Ombeni Mugabé, the three-year-old boy, still bears traces of the disease on his body after more than two weeks of treatment at the Kanyaruchinya health center, near Goma.
His mother, Clarisse Ishimwe, still remembers the painful days spent at the health center with her sick children.
“I was very scared because we had been told that this epidemic was very deadly. I was worried about my children, especially when I saw pimples on their bodies. I cried every day”, she said.
On her return from the health center, Clarisse Ishimwe is faced with another problem: the stigmatization of people who have caught Mpox. At her marketplace, where she sells powdered soap in plastics and doughnuts, few people come to buy from her, so much so that today she’s worried about her survival.
“All my customers have fled, and now I don’t even have enough to eat, because people don’t buy my products anymore, and I feel very sad," she said.
In Nyiragongo, people are asking for vaccines to cope with this disease.
