SchoolKits for Congo is a project of the Rotary Australia Overseas Aid Fund.​

We equip child victims of war in the East of the Democratic Republic of Congo to restart their lives and education in Goma, where they are seeking refuge.​

These children have fled armed violence with only what they could carry. Their families have no vehicles, reliable housing, or access to any social security.

With our help, they can have hope that education will give them more options in future and be safe at school, making new relationships. Knowing that, their parents have some space to figure out what to do about housing, and food.​

We invite teachers worldwide to engage their classes in child-sized global citizenship, to empower them and cultivate empathy and generosity.

We also invite Corporate donors and Grant-givers to support children in need.

SchoolKits consist of a brand new hand-made school bag and uniform, learning materials and (optionally) a Tiny Picture Book, personalised by the giver.​

SchoolKits are created by a small team of local mothers who use this income to house and educate their own children.​
