A Study Shelter for the Homeless Minds

Approximately 40,000 children in Kinshasa are homeless and live in extreme poverty.

Students fortunate enough to have homes often have no electricity, tables or chairs.  

Those who strive to learn are forced to study under street lights at night endangering themselves. 

The center now has a reading/library room to accommodate 150 students.

The computer center through the internet, students will gain access to unlimited cultural and intellectual resources of the World Wide Web.

Education is the best way to help people help themselves 

Thanks to HOPe for helping us!
