Thank you so much for your financial support for this most vital work of the Kimbilio team of carers in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo. Reintegrating children found living on the streets of this big city with their wider family is critical to giving these children love and hope and the chance of a good future.
In 2024, the team have to date reintegrated 20 boys and 14 girls into their wider families. Each case involves seeking and then establishing contact with the child's family and understanding the reason why their child is living on the streets. Simetimes the child has travelled many hundreds of miles across this huge country to reach the city of Lubumbashi. If the reason fot the child's departure is financial, then the team may provide the family with bags of grain to ease the challenge of feeding an extra mouth. School fees may be paid, or school uniform and books purchased so that the child may be able to go to school. Where a parent or parents have died, or are not well, then a family member may agree to look after the child. Often, the negotiation process between the Kimbilio team and the child's family can take many months before conditions are right for the child to be reintegrated.
Thank you again for your support.
