Why Education, and Why the Whole Child

How your gift works this season.

A child cannot learn when they are hungry, sick or without a safe place to sleep. When we care for the whole child, we give their education a chance to be transformative.

Have another amount in mind?

Every gift matters. Choose an amount that is meaningful to you and join Lobiko in creating opportunity for children in Congo.

We believe…

…children are the heart of their communities. Their well-being shapes the future, yet millions in Congo still face immense challenges despite progress in a nation scarred by decades of violence. Together, we can turn these stories of hardship into ones of resilience and hope by supporting Congolese leaders who are restoring well-being in children and transforming their communities from within.

Our Year-End Goal: Raise $70,000 by December 31 to care for the whole child and invest in their future through a quality education. Your gift helps children be:

  • Safe to Learn: a home, caregivers and daily meals for 75 children at the Sabuli Children’s Center

  • Healthy to Learn: medical care and nutrition through the Judy Medical Clinic and the Mama Monique Foundation

  • Learning and Growing: school fees, supplies, and mentorship through the Gemena Football Academy

  • Ready to Learn: the transition home and university support as young adults step toward independence

Any amount,

no matter how small,

can make a

big

difference

in a child's life.
