Children are the heart of every community and the hope of every nation. They represent the future — but they cannot reach their potential unless they are nurtured, protected, and given the opportunities they deserve. In Africa, and particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), millions of children face challenges such as poverty, malnutrition, lack of education, and vulnerability to exploitation. At WTFondation, we believe that taking care of children is one of the greatest responsibilities we share as humanity.
Why Children Need Our Care
A child’s early years shape their entire life. Without proper care, children are more likely to struggle with poor health, limited education, and fewer opportunities in adulthood. When children are neglected, entire communities lose the chance for a brighter future.
Taking care of children means ensuring they have:
- Food and clean water to grow healthy and strong.
- Safe shelter where they can live with dignity and security.
- Access to healthcare for protection against disease and emergencies.
- Education to unlock opportunities and break the cycle of poverty.
- Love and emotional support to build confidence and resilience.
These are not luxuries — they are basic rights every child deserves.
The Challenges in the DRC
In the DRC, many children grow up in the shadow of poverty and conflict. Orphans are left without families, and countless children are denied education because their parents cannot afford school fees or supplies. Many live without clean water or proper nutrition, leaving them vulnerable to illness and stunted growth.
These challenges are urgent, but they are not insurmountable. With collective effort, we can give children the care they need to thrive.
WTFondation’s Commitment
At WTFondation, taking care of children is at the centre of our mission. Our programs provide:
- Orphan care: Safe homes, emotional support, and access to education.
- School sponsorships: Covering fees, uniforms, and supplies for vulnerable children.
- Feeding programs: Nutritious meals in schools and communities.
- Healthcare access: Medical camps and support for children’s health.
- Empowerment initiatives: Skills and resources for families to better care for their children.
We believe that when children are cared for, entire communities grow stronger.
Stories of Hope
One young boy, Peter, lost both parents and was left in the care of relatives who could not afford his education. Through our sponsorship program, Peter now attends school and receives daily meals. His dream is to become a teacher and help other children like himself.
Stories like Peter’s show that even small acts of care — a meal, a book, a safe place to sleep — can transform a child’s life forever.

Taking care of children is a responsibility we can all share. Here’s how you can make a difference:
