Psychosocial support
for children and young people
living on the streets
25,000 children
are left to fend for themselves
on the streets of Kinshasa.
Behind every life on the streets lies a story of upheaval, instability or violence. Despite extremely difficult living conditions, these children and young people are striving to rebuild their futures.
Louvain Coopération operates in Kinshasa and Bukavu
Louvain Coopération works with shelters to provide children
and young people living on the streets with the protection and support they need.
Psychosocial support
So that they can be listened to, supported and guided after lives often marked by violence, family breakdown or abandonment.
Access to apprenticeships
in a trade
To develop practical skills and regain confidence in their abilities.
Support towards
sustainable reintegration
To help them gradually get off the streets and rebuild their prospects for the future.
The aim is to enable the children and young people supported to find a safe environment, to develop their independence and to reconnect with their family, social and economic circles.
These projects offer a sustainable solution for particularly vulnerable young people. They equip them with useful skills, nurture their potential and help them reclaim their place in society.
By supporting this project, you are helping to build more dignified, stable and sustainable life paths.
