Item details
This item has a base price but if you can pay a bit extra, we would be so grateful. 100% of the value of this item goes to help the children supported by Kimbilio, a children's charity in Lubumbashi, DR Congo. Kimbilio care for children who have escaped the streets, abandonment and cobalt mining. Children who have slaved for 12 hours a day for as little as 8p and have gone hungry. £10 will feed a child at Maison Kimbilio 3 meals a day for a whole week. They are nurtured, fed, clothed and educated. This is a true haven for children whose human rights have been abused.
THANK YOU. The children at Kimbilio appreciate every penny.
On 27 February 2017, I watched Alex Crawford’s Sky News report: Meet Dorsen who mines cobalt to make your smartphone work. It changed my life. Watch the film: www.cobaltchildren.org
Dorsen, aged 8, was filmed with his friend, Richard, 11. They were having a nightmare day by our standards, but it was just a normal day for them. They were wet, cold, exhausted, hungry, in pain, threatened and suffering.
I had no idea that the rechargeable battery in my smartphone and camera contained cobalt that could have been mined by a child. Most cobalt is mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There are laws to protect workers and children, but they are not enforced. Companies (Apple, Samsung, Daimler, Volkswagen, for example) buy cobalt from Chinese co., Huayou Cobalt, who trade with agents, who buy cobalt mined by artisanal miners and children – and that’s how it ends up in the prestigious products we buy.
I want to help these children. You can help them too.
This item will be posted to you by Children of the Congo within 3 days of receiving payment.
