Fundraising – CHARITY4CHILDRENS – For the Rehabilitation of the ADRA BULAYA orphanage located 31km from Lubumbashi on the Kasenga road

 

No one is indifferent when we approach the lives of orphaned children on planet earth. Having varied and often complex origins, the causes of their precarious living conditions remain an enigma and an equation difficult to solve. For some children, the orphan situation involves the death of one or both parents, especially the father called upon to play the role of educator and provider of the children’s well-being.

These orphans live in conditions that do not bode well for a better tomorrow. They are often at the mercy of the guardians who adopted them and are committed to providing them with the comfort necessary for their development. Unfortunately, deprived of the basic rights of education, health and healthy eating, some adolescents fall into the net of perverse groups who teach them degrading behaviors. Faced with this observation, we initiated this project for the benefit of a dozen orphans.

 

The following objectives were defined

  • Develop the intellectual and creative potential of these children,
  • Produce future productive forces for the development of the territory and the entire prefecture,
  • Reduce their precariousness.

For this, three main activities were included in this project:

  • The layout and equipment of the orphanage,
  • Training and education of orphans of both sexes in agriculture and related activities,
  • Monitoring and supporting young orphans for their socio-professional integration.

 

Action Caritative Infinie (ACI) under trustEvents Africa + Papillons Libre Multiservice + Emmit SARL will be the key players in the implementation of this project. They will be accompanied by local authorities.

The rehabilitation of the orphanage and other related work will be the responsibility of the management of the association carrying the project. A local management committee for this project will be set up to support the association in its execution.

The cost of these various activities amounts to 132,500,000.00 CDF (one hundred and thirty-two million five hundred thousand CDF).

Advanced Plastic Waste Transformation, Waste-to-Resource in Kinshasa and the provinces

This project focuses on high-tech industrial transformation. Instead of simply recycling, we “upcycle” plastic waste into high-value products like energy, fuel, and eco-friendly construction materials, creating a true circular economy.

 

Transforming plastic waste into exploitable resources represents a lever for green growth in Kinshasa and the provinces (Lualaba, Haut-Katanga, etc.). This report explores the technologies and economic models adapted to the Congolese context.

Context: From Crisis to Opportunity

Kinshasa produces approximately 7,000 to 10,000 tons of waste per day, of which 15% is plastic (primarily PET and HDPE).

  • Kinshasa: High density, complex logistics, and saturated landfills.

  • Provinces (Kolwezi/Lubumbashi): Industrial needs linked to mining operations, offering opportunities for synergy between plastic waste and construction materials.

Advanced Transformation Technologies

A. Mechanical Recycling (High-Value Standard)

This involves transforming plastic into granules (pellets) reusable by local industry or for export.

  • Process: Collection $\rightarrow$ Optical Sorting $\rightarrow$ Grinding $\rightarrow$ Hot Washing $\rightarrow$ Extrusion.

  • Applications: Manufacturing new bottles, plumbing pipes, buckets, and basins.

B. Chemical Recycling: Pyrolysis (Plastic-to-Fuel)

An innovative technology consisting of heating plastic without oxygen to decompose it into liquid fuel.

  • Advantage: Capable of treating mixed or soiled plastics that are not mechanically recyclable.

  • End Product: Synthetic fuel oil or Diesel usable for industrial generators or construction machinery in mining provinces.

C. Composite Construction Materials

Mixing sand with melted plastic to create ultra-resistant materials.

  • Products: Interlocking paving stones, construction bricks, manhole covers.

  • Properties: Lighter, waterproof, and requiring no water for production (crucial for arid areas).

Logistics Model: “Hub & Spoke”

To succeed in the DRC, logistics must be decentralized:

  1. Community Collection Points (Spokes): Micro-buyback centers in neighborhoods (Kinshasa) or mining towns (Kolwezi). This creates direct jobs for collectors.

  2. Pre-treatment Centers: Mobile units or small compacting workshops to reduce volume before transport.

  3. Transformation Plants (Hubs): Central high-tech units on the outskirts of major cities (e.g., Maluku Special Economic Zone for Kinshasa).

Implementation Strategy: Waste-to-Resource

Phase 1: Inclusive Collection

  • Deployment of a “Waste-Credit” application: citizens receive points or mobile credit in exchange for kilograms of plastic.

  • Partnerships with beverage companies (following the “Polluter Pays” principle).

Phase 2: Local Industrialization

  • Installation of high-capacity balers and grinders.

  • Production of paving stones for urban road projects (replacing concrete with plastic-sand composite).

Phase 3: Value Export

  • Certification of PET granules for the international market, generating foreign currency.
