Ubuntu projects are different projects we realize in solidarity tourism. There are projects related to education, protection of the environment, health and social assistance.
Currently we are supporting two orphanages in Goma town. Visitors are encouraged to give a helping hand by saving just a few kilos of space in their suitcase and bring goods for the orphanages we support; it allows them to make a priceless impact in the lives of our local children and families.
What is useful for orphanages?
- PPE equipment (masks and hand sanitizer)
- Library Books (reference books, novels, children’s story books) (preferably in French)
- Boys shorts (age 2 to adults)
- Boys/Girls Jeans (age 2 to adults)
- Shoes (boys/girls)
- T-shirts
- Jackets or rain-coats
- Craft supplies (scissors, colored pencils, stationary, stickers… etc.)
- Socks
- Board games
- Toys (dolls, cars… etc.)
- School bags
- Stationary kits
- Blue and black pens
- Hats
- Belts (especially boys age 6-18)
- Toiletries (shampoo, soap, hair oil… etc.)
We also provide flour products to the orphanages. With a donation of 10$ and above, a traveler may contribute for the nutrition of the orphans.
