2023/24 : In Kinshasa, Parents' House for Children with Cancer
The pediatric oncology unit of the University Clinics of Kinshasa (Congo DRC) treats children with cancer but unfortunately cannot accommodate them between treatments.
This situation could cause children whose families live hundreds of kilometers from Kinshasa to abandon treatment if there were not near the Clinics a Parents' Center intended to accommodate the sick child and the parent who accompanies them.
Charitable funding made it possible to purchase this house located near the Clinics (at 17 avenue Tuema Q/Masangabila C/Mont N'Gafula) but also the electrical equipment for the house (photovoltaic panels and a generator) as well as the creation of a borehole in the alluvial aquifer of the Congo River.
The project helps finance the operation of this Parents’ House in 2024.
In 2023, the House welcomed 12 children accompanied for several months.
They were housed in safety and benefited from abundant and healthy food (drinking water from the borehole and farm products) essential to support them during chemotherapy treatment.
They were also able to take courses in the House to maintain their academic level.
Total budget : € 50,000
Co-participants : AB CFAO, Les Jeannots France Kongo, Rotary Club, CFAO Solidarités (Kinshasa), Saint Etienne Metropole, Maison des Parents de Clocheville (Tours)
La Fondation La Petite Etoile acts as support for the reception and monitoring of donations as well as the issuance of tax receipts (through the Fondation de France). It should be noted that no management fees are charged to these donations. All donations (100%) received in this context are allocated to the Maison des Parents de Kinshasa.
End of project : December 2024
