Help the street children of Kamituga, Congo (DRC)

My name is Ilaria, I am a pediatrician and I have a lot of experience working in several low-resource countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. I encountered so much suffering in the children, but also so much vitality, creative energy, solidarity, gratitude. And many smiles.

With some local partners who have long been committed to the social cause , we are establishing a foundation to support vulnerable children in Kamituga (a mining town in the Mwenga region of South Kivu, Congo), who often end up on the streets. Our intent is to welcome them into a home and ensure their access to ‘education, quality medical care and psychological rehabilitation. In this area, many women and children are exploited in the many artisanal mines (gold, coltan, cassiterite, copper, wolframite…), where mortality from accidents and diseases (TB, HIV, malnutrition…) is very high.

We located in Mwenga village, not far from Kamituga, a capacious and solid house with arable land around it, which the community entrusted to us to implement a project for vulnerable children and women. In such a house we would like to begin to accommodate about 20 children and create a sewing workshop for women removed from mine work and victims of violence.
We need your help to contribute To the setting up of the house, (solar panel installation, construction of outdoor toilets and kitchen, fence and hut for the caretaker, up to 14,000 euros), to purchase the necessary basic materials (minimum 5000 euros), materials for training ateliers (minimum 3500 euros), to secure food and clothing for at least 20 children, as well as the salary of local workers for the first 6 months (up to 9000 and 6,000 euros).

We will be grateful for any though small contributions and maximum sharing of the project.

Donations will be donated in full to Home for Street Children ODV, and used for necessary expenses for the start-up of the project and for the first six months of activities.

A small contribution you can donate today can change and save thousands of lives!
