A Positive Future

Hi, thank you so much for your financial support for this Kimbilio Project which enables children who have been exploited in the mines to have a positive future. Kimbilio has taken in many childen who, through no fault of their own, find themselves working in the harsh conditions of an open mine. Many of the children run away from the mines to the city of Lubumbashi to seek a better life but end up living on the streets. The Day Centre is the first point of contact for these children and the Kimbilio team of carers in Lubumbashi are trained to care for these children and talk through with them the circumstances that led to them being on the streets.

Education is key to these children leaving ther past behind and so they are enrolled in the new Kimbilio School where they can catch up on the schooling that they have missed. 

Thank you again for your support
