Food for children

In Kwango Province, many families cannot afford even one meal a day. Children are particularly affected: Currently, almost 40 percent of young children are severely malnourished. In view of this emergency, the women's federation of our partner church became active: In the "Centre de Malnutrition," volunteers care for about 120 malnourished children and their mothers twice a week. In addition to meals of soy, cassava, vegetables and proteins, the women and children also receive medical examinations and medication.

The center could be built, among other things, thanks to the contributions of our donors. But the need is greater than the supply - please join us in supporting the people of Kwango!
