Donner de l'amour.
Pesa bolingo.
A Kinshasa foundation for the widows and orphans of our soldiers, for people living with disabilities, and for families who fled the East.
A Congolese non-profit in Kinshasa, bringing food, aid and company to the families our country forgets.
No distant warehouse, no long chain of intermediaries. Our volunteers pack every parcel and hand it over in person, then come back to listen, to pray, and to see what is still missing. Pesa bolingo is Lingala for give love: it is our motto and the way we work.
For the widows and orphans of the soldiers who fought for our stability.
At Camp SIFORCO, in the Maluku commune of Kinshasa, many families of fallen FARDC soldiers live on very little. We bring food packages and essential material aid, and we come back to sit with them. A soldier gave everything for the country; his family should not carry the cost alone.

Support these families
Share the love with those who have the least.
All year we reach out to the underprivileged of Kinshasa, with special care for people living with disabilities: visits, care packages and aid fitted to what each person needs. Every September, around our anniversary, we gather the city in a citywide solidarity drive and carry what was given straight to them.
Our yearly solidarity campaign · Kinshasa
Join Pesa Bolingo
The East is far from Kinshasa. Its people are close to our hearts.
Insecurity and conflict keep driving families from North and South Kivu out of their homes. We speak up for unity, keep their story in the public eye, and mobilise goods and funds in Kinshasa for the internally displaced people who reach the capital with nothing.
Solidarity and advocacy · Kinshasa for the East
Stand with the EastEvery child of a fallen soldier, every neighbour in a wheelchair, every family that fled the Kivus is one of ours.
Send us an email with what you can give: funds, food, clothes, school kits, mobility aids, or simply your time.
We tell you what families need most right now. Goods are collected in Kinshasa and packed by our volunteers, one family at a time.
Parcels go to Camp SIFORCO in Maluku, to the homes of people living with disabilities, and to families displaced from the East. Then we send you news.
