OUR WORK
FJP Confronts Serious Injustice and Promotes Freedom and Opportunity
FJP’s local partner in DRC provides children formerly caught in mining with a safe and supportive environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive. The Centre offers basic primary education, protection, and opportunities to develop their full potential. It also works with parents and the wider community, building their capacity to care for children through an integrated approach to social protection. This includes education on children’s rights, training in positive parenting, and preventing domestic violence and other forms of abuse.
Bringing Healthcare to Remote Mining Communities
In many artisanal mining areas, families live far from health facilities, often facing long journeys, poor services, and costs they cannot afford.
To change this, our local partners launched a mobile clinic in March 2022. Built on a 4×4 truck, it brings free, high quality care directly to four remote communities: Kanina, Kisote, Mukoma, and Tshala, even during the rainy season.
A team of local doctors, nurses, and a health assistant, supported by international specialists, provides essential services in paediatrics, obstetrics, and gynaecology, ensuring children and women get the care they deserve.
Driving Policy Change and Supply Chain Accountability
Our work goes beyond the ground in the DRC. We build influential partnerships with policy leaders to make sure the reality of child labour and other human rights abuses in technology supply chains cannot be ignored.
By informing parliamentary reports and engaging directly with decision makers, we ensure that the voices of vulnerable children reach the halls of power. While our immediate focus is on child labour in the DRC, tackling this crisis is a gateway to strengthening supply chain integrity across the technology sector as a whole.
Already, we are seeing strong engagement from both political and corporate leaders who recognise that change is urgently needed and possible.
