Preparing for the new school year with Fondation La Grande
School starts again in September, and the Fondation La Grande is preparing for it. In July, missionaries from the Fondation La Grande traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo with its visionary founder, Evangelist La Grande Mbamba. There, they dedicated a month to building an orphanage and a retirement home for widows, while also bringing joy to widows and orphans with many surprises.
Craft workshop for the orphans
Orphans in the Democratic Republic of Congo often dream of doing crafts, traveling, swimming, and filling their summers with special activities like other children. This year, the team from Austria and the Democratic Republic of Congo joined forces in Kinshasa to give the orphans a great start to their summer in July.
With several craft workshops and a trip to the swimming pool, the
Orphans experienced a summer like no other in July 2025. The orphans expressed their joy and gratitude through photos and video messages to the partners and donors of the cultural and aid organization La Grande.
Back to School Campaign
On July 13, 2025, the annual Back to School campaign took place in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As every year, the widows received generous gifts. With donations in kind from Austria and France, the widows and orphans received not only the usual gift packages, but also coloring books, crayons, wigs, African fabrics, and much more. The gifts were received with dancing and praise.
Intercession with Evangelist La Grande
In addition to common prayers, there were also personal intercessions and the opportunity to discuss the concerns of widows and orphans with the founder and pastor, Evangelist La Grande
Mbamba. They were welcomed, listened to, advised, and supported in the newly established executive office.
With praise and thanksgiving, we pass on all the blessing prayers of widows and orphans.
Our special thanks go first and foremost to God and the board, who tirelessly serve as the voice of the most vulnerable at various events, demonstrations, workshops, and more. Despite family commitments, they sacrifice their free time to bring joy to the widows and orphans through such activities. A heartfelt thank you to all supporters who, through their events, often free of charge, provide the Fondation La Grande with a platform to bring visibility to the suffering, grief, history, but also the hope and joy of the widows and orphans in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Every euro counts and helps, and with God's help we have achieved this together again.
