This article describes lives of street children in Kinshasa, where thousands of children survive in extreme poverty and face daily violence, exploitation, and neglect. It highlights how many are driven onto the streets due to family poverty or accusations of witchcraft, exposing them to abuse, drug use, and sexual violence. Through vivid examples, the piece shows how local NGOs provide critical outreach services, including medical care, education, and vocational training, in an effort to rehabilitate and reintegrate these children into society. Despite these efforts, the article underscores the immense challenges they face—limited resources, lack of government support, and worsening global funding cuts—while emphasizing the resilience of the children and the vital role these organizations play in offering hope for a more stable future.
