Fulfil vision for multipurpose street kids centre

Hi,

Thank you so much for your financial support for this important Project to build a multi-purpose Street Kids Centre to replace the use of the Cathedral premises. It is so important to our work with street children that we have a modern building with good facilities so that we can fully respond to the needs of the children that come to the Day Centre.

The new Day Centre will be situated in the centre of Lubumbashi and will be easy to find for the street children who will come here three days a week. We have already purchased the plot of land for the new building and we are now well on the way to reaching the sum needed to begin the construction. 

One of the facilities at the new Day Centre will be studios where the Kimbilio team of carers can talk with the children to understand how they came to be living on the streets and what support they need. Each child is treated with care and dignity.

We have purchase land in the City centre in Lubumbashi and we are approaching the total needed to build the ground floor of the new Centre.

After the provision at the Day Centre of medical treatment for cuts and bruises as the result of life on the streets, plus a good meal, the children really enjoy a game of football on the fields next to the Kimbilio houses. They can forget their troubles and lose themselves in the game.
