Visit report - Sunday, March 8, 2026 By mama Daniella & Tonton Augustin 

Orphelinat Centre Amani - Av. Kandolo 118, Kimbondo/Mitende, Kinshasa, DRC

From Left to Right:

Bob Bizama (10 years old, 1st grade, primary school) / Promedi Kinduku (2 years old) / Charlene Amani (3 years old) / Vainqueur Tukwenya (9 years old) / Violette Kanku (13 years old, 4th grade, primary school) / Florence Achina (13 years old, 4th grade, primary school) / Flavie Makamba (9 months old)

Together, they form a structured and committed group dedicated to education, pastoral care, and social support for vulnerable populations.

Within this environment, the community is closely linked to local institutions such as:

• Regina Pacis, a school supporting education for children and youth

• Saint Pierre, a hospital providing essential healthcare services

The missionary community in Kimbondo is part of a wider network, with connections to other communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo (including Masanga Mbila, Kananga, and Muamba Mbuyi) as well as in Europe (Italy and France).

Père Hypolite is closely connected to Mama Daniëlle, a respected and committed local figure who plays an important role in community life. Through this trusted relationship, he is also connected to our humanitarian orphanage project.

His presence brings valuable local knowledge, continuity, and understanding of the social and cultural context, contributing to a project that is rooted in real community needs rather than external structures alone.
