Espoir Congo built a primary school, then a middle school, in Kikimi, on the outskirts of Kinshasa, and set up a library. To address the need for holistic education, opportunities are provided for the children to participate in group sports, go on field trips, and engage in activities with art, drama, music and group discussion, in a positive Christian-based learning environment, such as the STEPS Program, which is being translated into French. TFI members have also built schools in other parts of the country, such as Kasai.
