Who We Are
Based in Fiskdale, Massachusetts, Kids in the Congo is a 501 (c)3 Non-Profit Organization which provides educational support to children in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In addition to individual sponsorships, we provide uniforms, backpacks and school supplies. We also assist in purchasing desks and chairs, establishing libraries and assisting in the funding for lab supplies in academic and technical secondary schools. As of July 2019, we have begun addressing root issues of clean water and food insecurity.
What We’ve Done
Founded in 2008, we have provided tuition assistance to children enrolled in grades k through 12. We have assisted in the funding of a libraries in elementary and high schools. We also provided school supplies for students at the newly constructed Prince of Peace School in Beni and Saviour Academy in Bibwa. In the post-covid era, we have decided to build classrooms, dig wells in remote villages that have no access to clean water and help with farm coop projects to provide food security in multiple villages.
How It’s Done
Kids in the Congo is partnered with the Augustinians of the Assumption (Assumptionists) a religious order with priests and brothers workin gin parishes throughout Congo. We are available to speak at schools, churches and civic organizations through central and western Massachusetts.
