Help! Donate!

Every donation, every initiative, no matter how large or small, changes people’s lives for the better. This is a very important fact to remember when considering volunteering or giving money to a cause. Whatever you can give will be appreciated and be helpful. With that in mind (yes, shameless plug/segue), consider donating to JPF’s two rural initiatives in the Congo!

Un: Kibeti Health Center

Doctor treating young patient in Kibeti Health Center

The Kibeti Health Center, built by JPF, provides the only basic health services available to the poor villagers and farmers in the Kwilu District of Bandundu Province. People travel great distances to receive this care. The health center is currently comprised of a building for medical consultation, patient care, and lab testing. It also has residential buildings to house the clinic’s staff, and basic equipment to treat various common ailments. The health center needs more equipment, supplies, and staff training, however, to be able to adequately serve a population of around 100,000 people.

Deux: Poultry Center

The Mikonga training center (in Kinshasa) was founded in April 2008. A team of skilled providers work in the training center to promote the physical, moral, and intellectual health of abandoned street children in the area. JPF currently serves children ages 3-17 in the center. The center currently lacks enough income to finance itself. Our goal now is to build a poultry operation where children will learn how to raise hens and earn an income from the sale of poultry and poultry products. This project will have the twofold effect of creating a source of income to support the center’s work, and allow for a healthy reintegration of the children into society.
