By Andrew Mullens | Kimbilio Support
Hi, thank you so much for your financial support for the Kimbilio project to build a multi-purpose street kids Centre to meet the needs of the children living on the streets of Lubumbashi in the DRC. The first stage of this big and important project is the ground floor of the new building and it will provide a safe place for children to come off the streets for care & support. There will be shower facilities, a kitchen and rooms for medical care, counselling and games.
This is a big and exciting project and we are well on the way to reaching the total that we need for Stage 1. The Cathedral in Lubumbashi is currently being used as the Day Centre, but it has not got all the facilities that we require, so the need is urgent. In 2024 we helped on average 38 boys and 9 girls at the the Day Centre every day that it was open. Many of the children were of junior school age, so the Kimbilio team of carers quickly tried to ascertain from these young children the reason for their leaving home and sought to establish communication with their families to effect a reintegration with a family member.
Thank you again for your support.
