In Goma, the Don Bosco salesians run a center for children abducted by militias to become child soldiers. The center serves 3,000 vulnerable children, providing education from preschool to vocational training, meals, and support for their return to civilian life. A microcredit service is also available to stimulate local economic development, and the program prioritizes the most vulnerable individuals. In addition, there’s a national transit and orientation center helping children released from armed groups to reintegrate into society and live with their families, as they were forcibly taken by the military and coerced into soldiering or servitude. When these traumatized children arrive, they often have no clothes and receive new outfits symbolizing their transition to civilian life. The narrative emphasizes the toll of war, seeing the scars it leaves on children, yet acknowledges the positive efforts made to help these children heal and move forward.
