The Street Children of Kinshasa

SCREENS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10TH

SCREENS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13TH


DRCongochildren and anointedmelody.com present: The street children of Kinshasa. A documentary that put the street children phenomenon in the
context of the current state of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Street children can be seen in all poor nations of the world, but their numbers have been rising exponentially in the DRC due to several factors.
The alarm must be sounded now than ever, as the crisis threatens to derail any development plan for the future of the DRC. This documentary has been
pre-screened and received high marks by selected groups of people.
