Challenge
It’s a powerful way to make a difference while
walking or running in solidarity with our mission to restore well-being to children in Congo.
How to Participate
1> Create a Team: Set a goal and invite your network to help you reach it.
2> Invite Friends, Family, and Colleagues: Send them your team link to donate or join your team.
3> Walk or Run 1 Mile in Solidarity: After donating, walk or run 1 mile and invite three others to do the same.
To make this even more exciting, Lobiko’s leadership has pledged to take one step for every dollar raised. With 2,000 steps in a mile, we hope to walk or run at least 25 miles if we reach our $50K goal—each step is a testament to the transformative change you’re helping to bring to our children in Congo.
The team with the most supporters and the team that raises the most funds will each receive a special prize. Rally your community, make an impact, and have fun along the way!

This Giving Tuesday,
your generosity can make an even bigger impact.
From December 2nd to December 6th,
every dollar you donate will be matched!
This means your support will go twice as far, as we match up to $8,000, helping us reach our $50,000 goal to fund essential programs like the Sabuli Children Center, Mama Monique Foundation, and Gemena Football Academy.
Your support isn’t just a donation—it’s a lifeline.
Every gift helps provide education, nutritious meals, and safe environments where vulnerable children can grow into future leaders.
Thank you for being part of this life-changing journey. Every gift makes a difference!
We believe…
…children are the heart of their communities. Their well-being shapes the future, yet millions in Congo still face immense challenges despite progress in a nation scarred by decades of violence. Together, we can turn these stories of hardship into ones of resilience and hope by supporting Congolese leaders who are restoring well-being in children and transforming their communities from within.
Our Year-End Goal: Raise $50,000 to transform the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children in Congo. Your gift will provide these children with:
Safe Home
Wholesome meals
Education
Healthcare
Transformative experiences that prepare them for a future full of opportunities
Any amount,
no matter how small,
can make a
big
difference
in a child's life.
