WHO WE ARE

Hope and Care for Little Souls brings hope to at-risk and parentless children in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and we need your help!

Hope and Care For Little Souls is serving the children of the Ituri region of north eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Did you know that the children in this area continue to be devastated by conflict, disease, and limited access to even the most basic education and healthcare? They are the innocent victims of conflict and economic under-privilege in one of the poorest countries in the world!

HCLS is filling the gaps for at-risk and parentless children in and around the town of Bunia through the provision of high quality education, a fostering program, and emergency medical care.

Thank you for visiting our website and we would love for you to take a few moments to learn about what we do, how we are bringing real hope to the children of DRC, and how you can help us realise our vision through child sponsorship!
