About Generation Hope

Of all the countries in the world, the DRC ranks among the bottom five in children’s school attendance. By providing funding and a safe haven for children in Eastern DRC through Generation Hope, Africa New Day is working to expand horizons and opportunities for children who may otherwise be left behind. Our program contributes funding to cover tuition, uniforms, and school supplies while offering a safe space for children to receive mental health support and develop their literacy and vocational skills outside of school.

Testimonials

Hear From Our Beneficiaries

Read stories from individuals whose lives have been transformed by our programs.

I had stopped my studies in tenth grade because my parents couldn’t pay for my tuition. This led to a lack of self-confidence. After attending a training by Africa New Day, I discovered my potential and started a Peace Club. My club is growing, and many people support us. I thank Africa New Day for helping me discover my potential.

My mother remarried, and I was neglected. I left home, lived on the streets, and engaged in theft and substance abuse. After meeting Africa New Day, I stopped smoking and stealing, gave my life to Jesus, and was baptized at their church.

FAQs

Why doesn’t AND create centers to care for street children across the province?

We currently lack the financial resources to run large centers. We plan to open another care center in Béni and hope to raise enough funds to expand further.

Why doesn’t Generation Hope give funds to its beneficiaries to start their own businesses?

We recommend young people with entrepreneurial projects contact the Africa New Day HUB.

What does it cost to run the transitional house (Kituku) for a year?

The approximate cost for rent, food, staff, and program expenses is $12,000.

Are there girls living on the street? What is being done to help them?

While most street children are boys, some girls are also on the streets and often face abuse. We aim to open a house specifically for girls but currently lack the funding.

What is the spiritual foundation for Generation Hope?

Lessons in the Generation Hope curriculum are drawn from scriptures, helping children attain wholeness. We train youth to become leaders and encourage them to encounter Jesus, teaching them about great leaders past and present and emphasizing that they have limitless access to Jesus Christ, the greatest leader.
