Make Christmas special for DRC street children

Last year’s festivities began with a beautiful Christmas service at St. Paul's Cathedral, followed by a party at the girls' transit house. All the children from our four sites gathered together to celebrate. Sharing a festive meal, opening gifts, and laughing together gave these children a true sense of family, a rare and magical break from the hardships of street life.

We are already thinking about our festive planning to ensure this Christmas is just as special. Bringing the children together from all four sites requires coordination, transport, and resources.

The funds donated by you are vital to making these celebrations possible, ensuring every child in our care experiences the warmth and joy of the season. Your continued support enables us to keep creating these unforgettable moments of belonging. Thank you for making their festive season bright!

Hi, Thank you so much for your financial support for this Kimbilio Project. Christmas is the time of year when families get together to celebrate and gifts are given and received so, for children living on the streets, they feel particularly alone and unloved. Kimbilio has, for many years, tried to make Christmas special for these young children and it is lovely to see the smiles on their faces as they experience the generosity that Kimbilio can provide through your donations.

At Christmas 2025, the children who come to the Day Centre were greeted with a big lunch (see photo above) followed by games and presents. The children forgot the hardship of daily living on the streets and enjoyed a really good time. The children at the four Kimbilio houses were also given a special meal followed by presents and games. The photo below tells the story!
