Paulina* has been coming to the Kambove Care Point for the past ten years and the Care Workers are like mothers to her. Because of the love and kindness she has received from these women, Paulina is an example to others by leading worship, leading the youth, sharing God’s word and praying for others. Care Worker Maman says, “I feel like a parent to her. Whenever Paulina is facing difficulties, she feels free to come and share them with me.”

“Relationship Groups have changed my life! I used to struggle with bitterness and anger but now I am able to share freely with the other Care Workers about what is challenging me at home and it has helped me to move past those feelings. They have also helped me grow spiritually.” - Venomigue, a Care Worker in Kambove Community, Democratic Republic of the Congo

15-year-old Gracia* likes to help out with the dishes at the Care Point. She has seen how the Care Workers have advocated on behalf of many other children in her community and so she feels safe knowing that they are there for her when she needs it most. - Kambove Community, Democratic Republic of the Congo

“I love the work that we do, and I believe that God has called me to serve the children. I feel so blessed to be called to this work. I was a Primary Caregiver and now I get to be part of a team of Care Workers who meet regularly to praise and worship and hear God's word in our Relationship Group. I am so grateful. My own life has been impacted as a Primary Caregiver and now as a Care Worker.” – Hortence is a Care Worker in Kambove Community, Democratic Republic of the Congo

During the recent Maranatha Workshop in Kambove Community (DRC) several of the youth committed their lives to Jesus. Praise God for the way that He has been working in their lives.

Maranatha Workshops are facilitated by Hands at Work for the Care Workers, Primary Caregivers and children, and are a place to share the 'Jesus We Know' and what it means to serve the most vulnerable.

Recently, a pit latrine toilet was constructed at the Care Point in the community of Kambove, Democratic Republic of Congo, as the previous one was becoming unsafe for the Care Workers and children to use. Having a new toilet goes a long way to improving the overall health and hygiene of the most vulnerable.

"Our God is a restorer of hope. A little over 12 months ago this grandmother was dying of hunger, along with her four great-grandchildren. She was lain in her field with her starving great-grandchild lying on top of her when Mama Emerance, one of our faithful Care Workers in Kambove Community, saw her and felt stirred to intervene in the situation. In November the Kambove Community Based Organsation (CBO), with the support of the Hands at Work local office team in Likasi, helped her to plant a field of maize. There have been some unforeseen challenges with the farming but at least the family has some food security for now. More than this, however, this grandmother has hope and a reason to get up each day to continue the good fight to care for her great-grandchildren. Her life is still very tough and the story is not yet finished but we trust that God's transforming power in her life will continue.”

Mel Warren, International Volunteer (Australia), shares about a grandmother who she met in March during her time in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Kambove Community, DRC

Liu*, is nine years old. In her short life, she has experienced great loss, which is not unlike many other children who have grown up in the vulnerable community of Kambove. After her father passed away, Liu’s mother struggled to cope with the responsibility of caring for her young children. In 2013, she fled the community and left her five children in the care of their great-grandmother, Theresa*. Theresa is in her late eighties and despite her best efforts, struggles to provide for the children’s emotional and physical needs.
