The Democratic Republic of Congo continues to experience a deep crisis and the population is facing various difficulties and dangers. In addition to the economic problems caused by the devaluation of the local currency, the level of crime is high and the cases of missing persons and house fires are frequent. This situation makes living conditions increasingly precarious and many families are looking for some help.
In this complicated context, the Foyer Ek'Abana Center in Bukavu regularly carries out its activities and it’s able to support and assist many adults and children. For example, it provides three meals a day to young residents of the Center and offers its help to ensure family reunification whenever possible. Furthermore, some families have been helped in commercial activities in order to satisfy their basic needs.
In addition to these activities, the Center carries out social moments such as celebrations, sports competitions and travel. Among these, the Center has recently concluded a school trip with about 60 children guests of the Center. The children had the opportunity to visit a new parish and they have carried out charitable activities for the neediest of the place. In addition, they had the opportunity to sing, dance traditional dances and recite in front of an audience.
