Thank you for your generous support to our Project to provide life-changing education to children living on the streets in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The new Kimbilio school is now in its second year and we are waiting for the Congolese Government to register it as a State school. So Kimbilio is still paying the saleries of the teachers. Once registered, the Government will pay the salaries.

The school serves the children living in the two Kimbilio short-term houses and the two long-term houses plus lots of children from families who live in the neighbourhood. It has been so rewarding to see children getting education who previously had been living on the streets and it provides them with hope of a better future.

Thank you very much for your financial support for the new Kimbilio Primary School. This has been very much appreciated. The School has now been officially approved by the Government..

The second academic year of the Kimbilio Primary School has just begun and 156 children have enrolled. It is so encouraging to see these children, some of whom are former street children living in Kimbilio houses and others who come from local families who could not afford to educate their children, receive education so that they are no longer at a disadvantage with pupils from stable family backgrounds. It is life-changing for all these children and gives them a bright future.

The Kimbilio Junior School has now been open for seven months, serving the children in the Kimbilio homes and children from local families. It is very popular with over 150 pupils! It is so important that all children get the opportunity of a good education which can give them the opportunity of a good job and the money to support their own familiy.

Thank you for your generous giving to this very important project. The schjool is transorming the lives of children who had previously missed out on even a basic education.

At the moment, the school is awaiting assessment by the Government, after which funding will be provided, so for the time being, Kimbilio is paying the teachers salaries and the cost of teaching materials. So please continue to give generously to this project.

The new Kimbilio Primary School opened its doors in October 2021.150 children are now receiving education - former street children amd children from families who live in the neighbourhood of the school who cannot afford state school fees. It is so important for children to receive an education so that they can acquire the knowledge and skills that will enable them to gain good jobs when they are older. Nine teachers have been recruited plus a p/t cleaner and a security guard.

This project enables us to pay the staff, buy uniform for the children and purchase teaching materials - exercise books, pencils, pens, chalk, IT equipment. 

Thank you so much to all those who are contributing so generously to this project. It is making such a difference to young lives.
