New Partnership for WCA in DRC!

A local NGO, TAD, supported by the government Social Fund for Development has offered assistance to the WCA project, Hope For Children centre. They will assist with training. On completion of certain conditions, they will provide financial support to 60 orphans in Goma City, DRC. This organisation is looking after the needs of up to 1000 orphans in various regions and providing cooking burners to destitute families.

Conditions for their on-going help include building a new centre. We have already bought the land on which to build this, now are in the process of planning to making this a reality.

Carpentry project in Goma

In 2022, we sent funds to the WCA people to start a carpentry training centre. Basically for those orphaned children who have grown up and left our foster care system but need to learn a trade. We continue to support them, while learning. However, as of March 2023 the situation in Goma has become so unstable, with refugees flooding in and short supplies of everything, that this had to temporarily stop. We look forward to continuing this project, as there are many children who would benefit.
