 In 1997, doctor Rachel Kembe, with five other professional women founded the Association nationale des mamans pour l’aide aux déshérités (ANAMAD, National Mothers’ Association to Aid the Dispossessed).By 2007 the centre was treating 2500 survivors of rape, but Kembe has said "the number keeps growing".ANAMAD has constructed housing for up to 30 IDPs and their families, but says they require more funding as their resources are inadequate.
