Provide Clothing for Orphans in North Kivu

Project Background

North Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the regions most affected by armed conflict and natural disasters. These crises have caused mass displacement, leaving thousands of children orphaned, without support, and deprived of even their most basic needs — including proper clothing.

For these children, lacking appropriate clothing is not just a matter of comfort. It brings deep shame, increases health risks, and further isolates them from society, school, and their sense of self-worth.

Project Objective

This project aims to provide new, clean, age-appropriate clothing to orphaned children at the FED Orphan Center in Goma.
Beyond the material gesture, our goal is to restore dignity, promote social inclusion, and give these children a chance to rebuild their lives with confidence.

Every piece of clothing donated is a symbol of solidarity — a way to tell a child: "You matter. You belong."

Project Impact

• Restoring dignity: Children can walk with pride and feel respected and valued.
• Supporting school attendance: Wearing proper clothes allows them to go to school without fear of mockery or exclusion.
• Fostering inclusion: The project helps children reintegrate into the community and return to a more stable life.
• Raising awareness: It promotes a culture of care and reminds society that every child deserves protection and love.

Total Budget

The estimated budget to fully implement this project is $7,000 USD.
This will allow us to provide durable, decent, and age-appropriate clothing for a large number of children.
