Challenge

In Goma, DR Congo, children orphaned by poverty, HIV/AIDS, or conflict live in the streets, facing hunger, disease, abuse, and extreme neglect. Many are excluded from school and sleep without shelter. Without intervention, they face a cycle of exploitation, violence, and despair, with no access to healthcare, clean food, or safe housing.

Solution

This project provides 50 orphaned children in Goma with nutritious meals, safe shelter, education kits, medical care, and emotional support. We expand sleeping facilities, add beds and blankets, train caregivers, and offer recreational and learning spaces. With direct support, these children are protected, educated, and given a second chance at life.

Long-Term Impact

By meeting their basic needs and supporting their education, this project empowers 50 orphaned children to break free from poverty. Over time, these children will grow into educated, healthy adults capable of contributing to their communities. We are investing in a generation that will help rebuild Goma, reduce street child rates, and promote children's rights.
