Make Christmas special for DRC street children

Hi, as I write this, there are only 39 days to Christmas! The shops are now full of Christmas goodies and families are starting to plan their Christmas activities. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, Christmas is a difficult time for children living on the streets. It is a time when they particularly miss the love of their families and they feel the isolation of their situation.

Thank you so much for your financial support for this Kimbilio Project which aims to bring the joy and excitement of Christmas to these young children and ensure that they feel loved and special. The Kimbilio team of carers in Lubumbashi will be again providing a Christmas dinner at the Day Centre plus games and presents for the streed children. Each of the four Kimbilio houses where many street children stay on a short-term basis will also be putting a special lunch with games and presents. It really is heart-warming to see the joy on the faces of the children. 

So your donations will enable these young children to enjoy Christmas and to feel loved and special. Thank you!

Hi, thank you so much for your donations to the Kimbilio Project 'Make Christmas special for DRC Street Children'. Christmas is a special time of year and, for children living on the streets, it can be a time of sadness when they remember their families and feel the sadness of no longer being with them. Each child deserves to be treated as a special and unique character and the Kimbilio team are able, through your generosity, to provide a special Christmas for the street children.

The children are given a special Christmas meal at the Day Centre followed by a Christmas present and a time of games, music and dancing. Those children living in the four Kimbilio houses have their own Christmas celebration. It is a lovely time and the smiles on the faces of the children shows how much they enjoy their Christmas Day.
