      Children who live in their families with very poor parents who are unable to cater for them adequately.

      Children who have left their parents for various reasons: children born to poor young girls, with unknown genitors or who have been abandoned because of poverty and who are collected in orphanages, boarding schools or training centres

      Children expelled from their families for so-called  sorcery and collected in orphanages, boarding schools or training centres.

You can trust the people who receive and who manage this money. Most of them are nuns, headmasters or training centre managers who send three times per year the justification for the money used. This can be checked. On receiving the money, they send a receipt and a thank you letter to the donator.

Adoptions are supervised and controlled by a local NGO, ADK, and the international partner, FSK. The foster parents will be in personal contact (by email, telephone) with their adoptive children and their parents or those who are responsible for the structures that welcome them.

The children’s names and pictures will be sent to the benefactors, and with their authorization, will be published on the site with the amount of money received.

Distance adoption doesn’t have a determined duration. In this sense, it operates like a true adoption: it can last until the child has grown up and once he has reached adulthood, he/she can live his life as he pleases. However, one can go back on his commitments provided a three month notice has been given.

Unfortunately,  the post office does not operate properly in the DRC. Only email could be used instead. In order to please a child at Christmas for example, the only way is to send some money to buy a gift locally.

You can support several children. This depends on the financial possibilities of the foster parents. In most precarious cases, one can support first cousins or very large families
