Equip Orphanage Kitchen in Kivu to Feed 100 Kids

1. Project Background

The LEVE-MOI orphanage, located in Goma, North Kivu (DR Congo), currently shelters over 100 orphaned children aged 1 to 16. Unfortunately, the kitchen is not adequately equipped to meet the nutritional and safety needs of these children.

The lack of proper cooking tools, safe equipment, and hygienic preparation space not only affects the quality of meals but also exposes staff to risks such as burns and domestic accidents.

2. Project Objective

This project aims to fully equip the kitchen of the LEVE-MOI orphanage in order to:

• Ensure healthy, regular, and balanced meals for over 100 children.
• Create a safe working environment for kitchen staff.
• Promote health, well-being, and dignity among the children.
• Improve hygiene and food preparation standards.

3. Expected Impact

With the implementation of this project:

• 100+ children will receive properly cooked, nutritious meals every day.
• Staff members will work in a safe and protected environment.
• Sanitary conditions will be improved, reducing food-related illnesses.
• Children's dignity will be preserved through proper nutritional care.
