Democratic Republic of the Congo

Thank you!!!! Posted about ago

It is a humble honor to be able to say "Thank you" on behalf of these children!! Thank you for joining us in ensuring bellies are full and tangibly reminding these little ones that they are dearly loved.

Due to the amazing initial response, we decided to increase the one-time donation goal. We do not want to limit giving opportunities for anyone who prefers to give a one-time gift. We are extremely grateful, as this one-time giving option allows us to establish an emergency and long-term planning fund!

The cost to feed the entire orphanage for one month is $1,000. The food is purchased and delivered every two weeks. Anything given above and beyond the $1,000 will go into our emergency fund. 

The emergency fund will be prioritized to cover immediate medical needs first. At the moment, there is a critical need for jigger removal and after-care. As defined by the organization, Sole Hope, "jiggers are small sand fleas that enter bare feet and burrow into the skin. If left untreated, jiggers become a huge problem, leading to infections, paralysis and even amputation."

In terms of long-term planning, we are hoping to fund educational programs in the near future for the children. Eventually, we would love to send the school-aged children to an off-site location to receive an education. When we directly asked each child what they wished for, they overwhelmingly responded that their dream is to have an education. 

We have also established a prioritized list of structural needs at the orphanage and we will address the most critical needs as funding permits. 

We are working in conjunction with our Canadian partners at Linked Through Love Foundation to accomplish all of these goals and are excited to see global donors linking arms to make these lofty plans a reality!

The work we are doing cannot be accomplished without the generosity of each of you. When you give to Feed Their Tummies, you are partnering with us to change lives and instill hope. Thank you!!!!
