In July 2013, we started supporting Grace Orphanage in Congo to care for 32 war orphans. Our first goal was to send all the children to school. About half the children had learning challenges. We brought after school teachers to the orphanage to help the kids and in 2018 these amazing children had a 100% pass rate.
We are completing house #4 that will enable us to take 18 more children off the streets. That is just the start, now we need to supply everything that they need for school - uniforms, shoes, books, stationary, project, administration and exam fees, etc. The cost is $315 per student for the year. Any amount you donate helps us give these children an education, which we believe is the first step to get them out of the grip of poverty, so prevalent in DRC, one of the poorest countries in the world.
