Kimbilio has an ambitious project to construct a new purpose built Day Centre. This is the building adjacent to the main road and has a toilet and shower block at the far side of the site. As well as providing food, medical care and clean water, the building will include a hair dressing salon where teenage mums who have trained in hair dressing skills can set up their own hairdressing business, enabling them to support their babies. It will also include a craft shop where parents who have completed our tailoring training can sell their amazing products. This will provide them with an income to feed their children, preventing them from coming back to the streets. It is an exciting project and will really improve the quality of care that the Kimbilio team can provide for street children in the DR Congo.

The Congo Children Trust is making a tremendous difference to the lives of young children, families and communities in Congo, and we are fortunate to have a fantastic Congolese team delivering the Kimbilio project. However, our success is a reflection of the energy, generosity and dedication of our supporters from around the world; and each individual is a valued member of our Kimbilio community

Please consider telling your friends and family about our work which will help us increase the work we can do in our community.

Many lovely Christmas gifts with a Congolese flavour are now available from our Etsy shop. All funds raised directly support the hugely valuable work of Kimbilio with street children in DRC:
