By Andrew Mullens | Kimbilio Support
Hi, thank you so much for your financial support for this Kimbilio Project which reunites children living on the streets of Lubumbashi with their families. In 2025, we reunited 112 children - 39 girls and 73 boys with their families. An amazing total as each reuniting is the result of weeks and sometimes months of hard work by the Kimbilio team - locating the child's family, ascertaining the circumstances that led to the child leaving home and deciding whether the child can safely be renited. Grandparents or Aunts and Uncles may be the best people to take in the child if the parents circumstances are not good.
Often, the children may have travelled many miles to the city of Lubumbashi and this makes the task somewhat more challenging. Last year the Kimbilio team reunited children with familes in towns up to 200km away, such as Kolwezi, Kipushi, Kasumbalesa and Fungurume.
Thank you again for supporting this important work
