Mother and daughter reunited
Thank you very much for your generous donations to the Kimbilio Project to reintegrate children living on the streets of the Democratic Republic of Congo with their families. A lot of preparation is necessary in order to bring this about. Kimbilio staff seek out the child's family and address the reason(s) for the child's departure from the family home. Sometimes the family cannot support the child financially, so Kimbilio may give a grant to cover food and/or school fees, uniform and books.
The joy on the faces of the children and their families when reintegration has been successfully achieved is testament to the work of the Kimbilio team. Each month we reintegrate 4-5 street children with their families.
The first point of contact for street children with Kimbilio is through the Day Centre in Lubumbashi. Kimbilio have been using the Anglican Cathedral premises but now are planning a purpose built Day Centre. Land has just been purchased and in the New Year we will be fundraising to be able to commence building work
