Hi, thank you so much for your financial support for this vital Kimbilio Project. The need for a new Day Centre is critical because the current Day Centre in the Cathedral building in Lubumbashi is at full capacity. We are seeing increasing numbers of street children attending the Day Centre with more complex needs, such as drug dependancy, so a building with the facilities for dealing with all the children's needs is important for the work of Kimbilio going forward.
The children living on the streets struggle to get sufficient food and water and so the provision of a meal at the Day Centre is so important to the wellbeing of these children. They also frequently sustain injury or illness and Kimbilio provides medical treatment for their minor injuries and illnesses and hospital treatment for the more serious cases. In addition, the Kimbilio team at the Day Centre seek the background to each child's arrival on the streets and try to reintegrate the child into their wider family.
