Hi, thank you so much for your financial support for the Kimbilio project to give a hope-filled future to children who have exploited by labour in the mining industry. Every child deserves the opportunity of an education and to able to pursue a future that uses their skills and interests and Kimbilio continues to help children who have been working in poor conditions with low pay in the mines in the DRC.

The Day Centre in Lubumbashi is the first point of contact for young street children with the Kimbilio team of carers. In 2024, we saw on average 38 boys and 9 girls each day that it was open. The children are provided with food, clothing, washing facilities, medical care for the cuts and bruises sustained on the streets and a listening ear to understand their story on how they came to live on the streets. Many of the children will join the Kimbilio School and be able to catch up on the education that they have missed. Others will be reintegrated into their families. It is amazing to see the difference that the Kimbilio team can make with the support of people like yourself.

 

Thank you again for your support.
