NAKUONA E.V. - ANNUAL NEWSLETTER 2024
Doing our part
Dear Friends, Donors, and Supporters,
We are committed to the well-being of the children we serve. And with support from you, improving their quality of life is not a dream — it’s a real possibility. Thanks to your generosity, we have expanded our support beyond the orphanage ‘Tumaini’ and are now also supporting another orphanage called ‘Maison D’Accueil’, meaning ‘house of welcome.’
Both Tumaini and Masion D’Accueil (MD) have received our support this year. At Tumaini we were able to renovate the courtyard, giving the smaller children a safe and beautiful space to play and socialize. We also renovated the kitchen, making it easier to use with more storage and counter space. For both orphanages we provided food and toiletries. Lastly, we were able to provide school fees for children of MD to return to school who otherwise would not have been able to.
At NAKUONA e.V., we are committed to bringing relief, dignity, and hope to orphaned children in the D.R.C. — not only by supporting their basic needs, but by working to make orphanages more livable and children’s lives more hopeful. We are not here to replace what other charities are doing; we are here to do our part – reaching those yet unreached.
“Do what you can, with what you have, from where you are.”
– Theodore Roosevelt
