School Supply Drive
Dr. King could not have expressed the importance of education any better. Everyone is a gift to this earth and even though resources may be limited in space, the mind itself is a limitless tool that can be used for the benefit of others. Education plays a key role in personal growth and development. These goals can be achieved in small steps and each day presents an opportunity to take a step towards fulfilling one’s potential. So Providing education to children can provide them with the tools and skills they need to develop mentally, physically and where they can be socially aware of the world. Knowledge helps people build thinking skills, and by providing training, this can help people live independently and gain freedom!
We appreciate the generous offering of backpacks filled with school supplies from the Arthur Middleton Elementary School for the year 2018-2019 and Berry Elementary School for this coming school year (2019-2020) with the help of Mr. Louis D'Ambrosio (Principal). Leaders like yourself are the reasons healthy communities exist. Because of you, your students, and their parents (USA), the children of Mbakana (Congo DRC) were able to use backpacks for the first time. This shoud not go unnoticed. Thank you, Mr. D. for your attention and action!
Mr. Louis D'Ambrosio
The children in the Democratic Republic of Congo are always in need of used/new backpacks and any school supplies. Please consider making a donation of these items for their benefit. Also, we would appreciate informing others of the serious need for such items. The children and their families would be most grateful for the scholastic supplies. When organizations like yours give back to our school’s community, Gabkul foundation is able to lay the ground work for future student achievement.
Thank you for being such a supporter of students’ success!

Recent Realizations
- Christ Santé Clinic (Lemba-Kinshasa):
The 50 beds clinic features an operating room, laboratory and pharmacy and provides radiology, ultrasound, physiotherapy, gynecology-obstetrics, prenatal and pediatric services.
- Water wells and 1 catch tank in Kimbanseke county
People who live in this county used to carry contaminated water long distances for cooking, bathing, and drinking. They could not afford to have a well put in, so they use either a communal source of water, or haul water from a pond that is dirty. The statistics have showed that people living in this community were getting sick from using disease infested water. However, people have now to travel less than 1 mile for clean and safe water provided by Gabkul Foundation.
In addition, these water wells especially save student time walking and carrying water over long distance.
- Pumbu Bridge (Bumbu County)
Is located over the river Pumbu in Bumbu County (Kinshasa). During the rainy season, the waters rise so high in the river, and it was too dangerous for people of this county to cross without a bridge. People have even lost their lives attempting to cross the river.

The waters gave no other routes and no access for these people. Therefore, with the construction of this bridge, the foundation provides a safe crossing to hospitals, clinics, schools, markets, jobs, and churches. This project was funded by the World Bank, through the Social Fund of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FSRDC). .jpg)
The Democratic Republic of Congo is a country affected by extreme poverty and where the economy and social structures have collapsed.
Over thousands of people have lost their limbs, sight and hearing through the ravages of war. The communities are swamped with different kinds of vulnerable groups, and over million children, women, and men need as much help as they can get.
The quality of life includes hunger, poverty and malnutrition causing various illnesses and physical malformations.We firmly believe there will be a day when all of the sadness, and suffering that surround vulnerable people will be replaced by a new heaven and a new earth. Where there shall no longer be any death, crying, or pain. We also believe that such a new earth will come with your help, but until that time we are commissioned to work on behalf of every vulnerable people who comes within our area of influence. We are also committed to reflect the character of our God by recognizing the value of each individual we serve, which in return guarantees our demand for excellence in all activities.
