About us
Our Vision
Our vision is to eradicate child poverty in the DRC Congo, one child at a time, by establishing an infrastructure that ensures children have access to the daily necessities for living and sustainability.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a safe haven for children in the DRC Congo, complete with infrastructure that fosters their potential and offers them the opportunity to pursue their dreams. We are driven by the abundance of talent and potential in Congo, recognising that the primary barrier to progress is the lack of resources.
Our Values
- The well-being of every child for a healthy life is of utmost importance and remains our primary priority.
- We are steadfast in our belief that every child in the DRC Congo deserves to live with dignity and within their rights. We are committed to ensuring that this becomes a reality for countless children.
- We reject the notion that a country’s economic status should dictate a child’s quality of life. Our mission is to provide children with the resources they need to thrive, grow, and prosper within their communities.
- Light Up Children champions every child’s right to life and aims to extend this opportunity to as many children as possible in the DRC Congo. Our goal is for every child to not just exist but to live fully and enjoy their life to the fullest.
- We believe that every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment. They should have access to the essential resources required for their daily sustenance and overall well-being, enabling them to grow and flourish in every aspect of their lives.
- We create a significant impact by collaborating and fostering creativity within a network of organisations and individuals who share common interests and goals.
- Safeguarding and training are non-negotiable practices implemented for all staff, stakeholders, and individuals working directly with children within our charity.
- We excel when we embrace intersectionality, inclusivity, diversity, anti-racism, and equity in all aspects of our work.
