By Andrew Mullens | Kimbilio Support
Hi. Thank you so much for your financial support for this vital Kimbilio Project which enables children who have been working in the mines near Lubumbashi to be given a future away from this dangerous environment. Children are cheap labour for the mine companies and their welfare is not prioritised. The Kimbilio team of carers in Lubumbashi provide safe accommodation with food, water, clothing, medical care and an environmemt where the children are cared and valued.
These former mine workers are given the opportunity of going to the Kimbilio School where they can learn with their peers and gain the education that will enable them to have a brighter future than the one they were rescued from. In addition, efforts are made to contact the children's families to see whether it is possible to reintegrate them.
