philenckoBenda Foundation Monthly Outreach: Spreading Hope and Love in Gabiro Pepsi Cola Zone
At Benda Foundation, our mission is rooted in transforming lives and empowering underprivileged communities to live their dreams. In line with this commitment, our monthly outreach this December took us to Gabiro Pepsi Cola Zone, located behind Lufula. This vibrant yet underserved neighborhood is home to many children who navigate life amidst significant challenges.
Sharing a Meal and Moments of Joy
The day was filled with warmth as our team came together to share a meal with the ghetto children in Gabiro. More than just food, we shared conversations, laughter, and a sense of community. The children welcomed us with open hearts and infectious smiles, reminding us of the resilience and hope that shines even in the toughest circumstances.
A Gift of Sports and Togetherness
Understanding the power of play in shaping young lives, we brought balls and other merchandise for the children. For many, these simple items symbolize more than recreation; they represent opportunities to foster teamwork, nurture talent, and dream big. Watching the children kick the balls around with sheer excitement reminded us why we do what we do—because every child deserves a chance to simply be a child.
Laying the Foundation for Education Opportunities
Beyond the games and laughter, we took time to engage with the children about their education journey. Our team gathered vital information about their current level of education or where they had stopped schooling. This information is crucial as we work towards creating meaningful sponsorship opportunities to help these children resume or continue their education.
Education is a cornerstone of our mission, and we believe every child should have access to quality education regardless of their background. By understanding where each child stands, we can strategically plan to support them in fulfilling their academic potential.
The Road Ahead
The visit to Gabiro Pepsi Cola Zone is just one step in our ongoing journey of transforming lives. At Benda Foundation, we are committed to returning to these communities with sustainable solutions that address their unique challenges.
