Child Sponsorship in Uvira
The children who are sponsored are children who attend the Kilibula Primary School, Uvira, in the Congo. The scheme is run to ensure that they can attend school and receive a good education. The children come from extremely poor families and some of them have lost parents and family members in the recent war.
