Across the River

Our friends in the D.R. Congo are preparing for a community center in Kikungu! A project of this magnitude takes a great deal of planning, and team leader, Josephine, has the process well underway. From surveying community needs, to gaining community support, donation of land from village chiefs, drawing plans, finding contractors, and preparing for programs, it takes time and patience for each center to take shape.

To see what the planning and building process looks like, Josephine took a trip across the Luapula River into Zambia to visit the new community center in Mulundu! After this visit, additional ideas are flowing and plans continue to be developed. The primary objective of the Kikungu center will be to support orphans and vulnerable children through skills training and counseling, led by the Wasaidizi volunteers.

We are excited to see how the Kikungu center grows, and grateful for all of the support and hard work that will make it happen!
