Support of DKA and KFS

How have we managed to do this work? Principally through the help of an Austrian NGO called Dreikonigsaction, a charity involving children. At Christmas time the children dress as the three Kings and go around their neighbourhood telling the Good News of Christ‘s birth and singing carols. Those who hear them give donations, which the children take to their organisation. Their donations are used to help other very poor children, such as the Mukuru children, to have the basic necessities of life. Through the efforts of these Austrian children thousands of slum children are able to get a basic education, learn a trade and to keep themselves and help their families. Then, when Mr Wolfgang Bohm of Dreikonigsaction came to visit and saw the difficulty we had in trying to raise funds whilst running the centre, he realised we desperately needed more secure funding to sustain the activities. He approached KFS to ask it to assist our work and support what Dreikonigsaction was doing. KFS agreed and suggested getting help from the Austrian Government and the EU. The proposal for funding was originally requesting support for the years 1987 to 1989, but in fact still continues today. This support has given stability to our existing operations, and so we are very fortunate that these two Austrian-based NGOs supported our work for the poor. Without their help and encouragement, much of our work would still be a proposal and many children would be without an education or the skills to earn their living.
