History:

- Frank and Lilian are humanitarians living in Canada. They help  people in the Congo-DRC. Frank  could every month  send some money to Congo-DRC to support children at school. He once asked his young brother to give him the number of children who are not attending school in the village of Muhungwe. When Frank got the numbers he was shocked. More than 80% were not going to school. Many have passed the school age. Frank and Lilian are now sponsoring 13 students, 4 at University, 2 at Secondary School and the rest at Primary school.

 - In the Congo-DRC children have to pay school fees at school. On top of that they have to buy notebooks, textbooks, uniforms. 

- Frank and Lilian soon realized they cannot afford to pay school fees and school related expenses to all these children. They also realized there were thousands of children not attending school because of poverty and have no means to pay school fees. They wondered how they could help these children explore their educational potential. They approached their friends in Canada for help.

  - Frank, Lilian and Friends gathered one day around a babercue and they decided to create CILPD to help communities in need. Besides helping children at school, CILPD  wants to combat poverty, to raise awareness of the plight faced by poor and underprivileged in the Congo, to improve sanitary living conditions and to care for and help the needy.
