These doors of hope give refuge and love to 70 orphaned children in the busy and bustling capital city; Kinshasa. In a nation that has been in constant turmoil for many years, an oasis of protection for these little ones has been found. Kinshasa Children's Home is that place and we welcome you in to see God at work. "..for in You the fatherless find compassion." Hosea 14:3b Brief History Since 1994 the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DROC; formerly called Zaire) has been rent by ethnic strife and civil war, sparked off by a massive inflow of refugees from the fighting in Rwanda and Burundi. The government of former president Mobutu Sese Seko was toppled by a rebellion led by Laurent Kabila in May 1997; his regime was subsequently challenged by a Rwanda- and Uganda-backed rebellion in August 1998. Troops from Zimbabwe, Angola, Namibia, Chad, and Sudan intervened to support the Kinshasa regime. A cease-fire was signed on 10 July 1999, but sporadic fighting continued. Kabila was assassinated in January 2001 and his son Joseph Kabila was named head of state. The new president quickly began overtures to end the war. As a result of the many years of conflict, war and waves of refugees descending on Kinshasa, the orphan problem is very large and presently out of control. And so God calls us for such a time as this! Dispensing His radical love into the lives of these precious children.
