Development Agencies in Congo (DRC)
- We help to bring God’s comfort, healing and renewal to those affected by disasters. And when the dust settles and the headlines change, we stay to provide ongoing assistance to those in need.
- Belgian-Congolese non profit organization for the reintegration of young people in society. Focuses on the education of the street kids after they graduate.
- program of school rehabilitation is giving Congo’s children the opportunity of a more normal childhood. To date, War Child Canada has rebuilt 15 schools, giving 6,000 children access to a decent education. The program goes far beyond bricks and mortar, offering a holistic approach to schooling. Many teachers were among the millions killed in the conflict. Those that survived have been out of the classroom for years. War Child Canada has trained or re-trained 400 teachers from over 30 schools in child-centred learning. All the schools we have worked with have been re-equipped, meaning teachers and pupils no longer have to share books, pencils, chalk and other essentials.
