He is an exuberant and joyful child.  <\/span>After spending more than five months at Maison Msaada, one morning before dawn he decided to take the Kamituga road again. He was very proud of his progress at school: in a short time he had learned to write, was the first to leave the house in the morning, sometimes without even eating, in fear of being late. He had stolen chalk left in the classroom by the teacher, along with three other of our children. This was discovered, and he could not stand the humiliation he suffered in front of the more than 60 children in his class, and convinced Bonann\u00e9 and Kika, his fellow street children, to follow him as well. Unfortunately, unlike him, the other two no longer have anyone to look for, while he still has the opportunity to search for his mother, who may have remained in Kamituga. They, like almost all street children, are also very flighty and impulsive. Our hope is to be able to retrieve them and include them in the carpentry workshop, once the political situation allows us not only to move, but also to pursue new projects. However, there is a fear that he and the other three children who have returned to live on the streets may be recruited into the militias, at this time of unrest where various armed groups are circulating.       <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_52 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_blurb_42 et_pb_blurb et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_blurb_position_top et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_content\"><div class=\"et_pb_main_blurb_image et_animated\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap et_pb_only_image_mode_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240816_094636-scaled.jpg\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240816_094636-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240816_094636-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240816_094636-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_20240816_094636-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2560px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-3182\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_container\"><h4 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Heritier<\/h4><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_description\"><p>11 ans.

We followed her for months, bringing her antiepileptic drugs initially every week, and also food, clothing, and treating her hands and feet affected by fungal and bacterial infections. She was very neglected, due to illness and misery. She never attended school. In August 2025 she began to participate in our sewing classes. She used to walk to the center twice a week, but perhaps because of excitement, or fatigue, she had started to have fits again. That's why we decided to take her into the Home, also to improve therapeutic compliance (Grandma often forgot to give her medication).

Motherless at an early age, she lived with her grandmother in Kamituga and her older siblings had left to work in the mines. Her father, who also worked in the mines, died several years after her mother from an illness attributed to witchcraft. When grandmother decided to leave on foot to reach a remote region (the Shabunda territory), the child, no longer able to afford to pay the hut rent, went to live with a friend of her mother's and began working in the mines. When she scraped together enough money to pay for the trip, she went to Bukavu in search of relatives whom, however, she never found. She remained on the road for a month until the police found her and took her to Ekabana Center, a shelter for street girls, from which she was sent, as she was originally from Mwenga territory. She had only attended the first three years of elementary school and is now very happy to go to school.      <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_blurb_48 et_pb_blurb et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_blurb_position_top et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_content\"><div class=\"et_pb_main_blurb_image et_animated\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap et_pb_only_image_mode_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/34964ca3-2f35-4006-b029-b055afaabaa8.jpg\" width=\"929\" height=\"2057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/34964ca3-2f35-4006-b029-b055afaabaa8.jpg 929w, https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/34964ca3-2f35-4006-b029-b055afaabaa8-480x1063.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 929px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-9274\" title=\"34964ca3-2f35-4006-b029-b055afaabaa8\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_container\"><h4 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Dorcas<\/h4><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_description\"><p>She is 8 years old and was taken in by Maison Msaada in May 2026.

Unfortunately, progressive deforestation is a serious problem in the Mwenga region, caused mainly by coal production <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  <\/span>and from agricultural exploitation. Local agriculture is limited to a few staples (cassava, maize, beans, sweet potatoes), partly due to adverse climatic conditions (excess rainfall) and partly due to cultural limitations.  Already in the early months of our activities with the children, we planted several fruit trees and involved the children in planting, trying to introduce different agricultural varieties little by little.  <br \/>We try in all our activities to minimize our environmental impact; this is a goal we will also try to pursue in future projects that we as an association would like to implement.<\/p>\n<p>The Mwenga region is rich in minerals, extracted in a largely artisanal manner. The indiscriminate exploitation of the mines causes severe environmental damage, as well as, abusive dispossession of land and human rights violations. We would like, once our presence in the region is more entrenched and our activities are able to expand, to be able to collaborate with local associations involved in environmental protection and land defense  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_70 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_cta_2 et_pb_promo et_pb_bg_layout_light et_clickable et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_promo_description\"><h2 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Growing your own food<\/h2><div class=\"et_pb_promo_content\"><p>We started cultivating with the children and our workers the land around Maison Msaada even before the children arrived. Progressively, with the help of our supporters, we were able to rent more than two hectares of land which we cultivated mostly cassava, as well as corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, eggplant, cabbage. We planted banana laberi and many avocados. Unfortunately, the escalation of the conflict in the region since early 2025, with the establishment of a real humanitarian crisis and the division of Kivu into areas occupied by the M23 rebel armies and unoccupied areas, has made it impossible to supply seeds from the capital (Bukavu), following the suspension of all centralized seed distribution programs   <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  <\/span>and cooperation with agrarian organizations in the capital city itself, and the region's pronounced isolation. We would also like to bring some innovations in agriculture and arboriculture, as well as become a model of biodiversity, but we have to wait for the return of peace to the region. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_5 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_23 et_pb_row et_block_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_71 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_7 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2>Our Partners & Sponsors<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_divider_1 et_pb_divider et_pb_space et_pb_divider_position_top et_pb_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_24 et_pb_row et_block_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_72 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_8 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><ul>\n<li>Maria Cristina Moneta and Paolo Bandecchi<\/li>\n<li>Silvestra Mariniello<\/li>\n<li>Francis Moneta<\/li>\n<li>Lydia Pescollderung<\/li>\n<li>Silvia Castagna and Andrea Quarello<\/li>\n<li>Mirella Pin and Mahmoud Kassem<\/li>\n<li>Dina Meysenburg Coin<\/li>\n<li>Franco Falorni<\/li>\n<li><span>Paul Profanterer and Johanna Platzgummer<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Giuseppe Maria Prisco<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Your Hand for Peace onlus<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_73 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_9 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><ul>\n<li>Carmen Mustile John Talarico<\/li>\n<li>Meinrad Volgger<\/li>\n<li>Enrica Falbo<\/li>\n<li>Amiya Grace Tripodina<\/li>\n<li>Union Lido Mare<\/li>\n<li>Vittorio Moneta<\/li>\n<li>Roberta Scatizzi and Valerio Moneta<\/li>\n<li>Cardinal Maffi House Foundation Onlus<\/li>\n<li>Alloca Giusiana and Roberto De Luca<\/li>\n<li>Missionary Center of Bolzano and Bressanone<\/li>\n<li>Marta Zaccagnini and Manoucher Kiani<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_74 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_10 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><ul>\n<li>And many others...<\/li>\n<li>\n<li>Your name could be written here!<\/li>\n<li>Thank you all partners and sponsors<\/li>\n<li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_25 et_pb_row et_block_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_75 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_0_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_0 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_dark et_pb_module et_block_module\" href=\"http:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/en\/\" data-icon=\"$\">Become a Sponsor<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-887","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=887"}],"version-history":[{"count":368,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/887\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9286,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/887\/revisions\/9286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeforstreetchildren.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
