Equip Orphanage Kitchen in Kivu to Feed 100 Kids

The project “Equipping the Kitchen of the Kivu Orphanage to Feed 100 Children” aims to equip the kitchen of the LEVE-MOI orphanage in Goma (Kivu), to ensure healthy and nutritious meals for more than 100 orphaned children aged 1 to 16 years. Currently, the orphanage lacks cooking tools and basic infrastructure, which prevents safe and hygienic food preparation.

The Problem

The absence of adequate kitchen equipment exposes the staff and children to burn risks while compromising the quality of the meals. This situation threatens the children’s health and growth and jeopardizes the safety of those preparing the meals.

Project Objective

Create a safe and functional cooking space that allows for:

• The preparation of healthy and balanced meals,
• Protection of staff and children from kitchen hazards,
• Long-term improvement of children’s living conditions.

Expected Impact

• More than 100 children receive nutritious meals daily,
• Reduced health risks and injuries,
• A safer and more dignified environment for the children,
• Sustainable improvements for future generations at the orphanage.

Progress and Funding

The total project budget is $6,000.

So far, $50 has already been raised through our partnership with GlobalGiving, a trusted international crowdfunding platform that helps us mobilize resources from donors worldwide.

Next Steps

• Continue fundraising through GlobalGiving,
• Purchase and install essential kitchen equipment (utensils, safety gear, furniture),
• Train staff on safe and hygienic cooking practices,
• Monitor and evaluate short- and long-term impact.
