Peace Building Team (PBT)

Qui sommes-nous

Peace Building Team (PBT) was founded in 2012 following the departure of the warring M23 rebels which took the eastern part of Democratic Republic of Congo and cruelly orphaned thousands of children. Many of these orphans became street children who deserve to live a safe and sustainable life. Like all children, these helpless wartime survivors have a critical need for a safe environment with good care, to include a stable education. Peace Building Team resolved to create an orphanage which would also serve as a vital training center for these children.
Peace Building Team (PBT) is a not for profit organization that seeks to inspire and empower the spirit of fair play and peace for every human.
We are engaged in helping vulnerable children in the eastern part of Democratic Republic of Congo to reach their dreams and attain a better future. The children will be the ones who will provide peace in the future for our world by fighting all kinds of violations which are destroying their lives. Let us be committed to rescuing them as they are currently living in desperate conditions which threaten their very survival.

Our mission
Our orphanage in the DRC provides for the fundamental needs of over 100 orphans and street children and establishes necessary life skills so that they may lead sustainable lives and become Peace Builders.

Project areas:

Projects:
• Orphanage Center: Our center provides 140 children with shelter, loving care, basic living resources, and a stable environment with the opportunity to learn leadership, English, and conflict resolution in structured classes. Additionally, we lead them in activities such as theater, language arts (including our Poems of Peace program), and athletics. We conduct our programs in an effort to promote lasting peace and reconciliation in our communities.
• Sponsor a child: Our aim is to provide funding necessary for our children to continue their education in a formal school environment. By sponsoring a child, you provide tuition, books, uniform, and supplies for a child to attend school for one year.
