City: Goma
Orphanage:Mamma Jeanne’s Orphanage
Number of Children: 300
Description: Since 1993, Mamma Jeanne and her staff have cared for more than 800 children. Some have been reunited with their relatives. Many have been victims of rape, and a small number have been infected by HIV/AIDS. The goals of Mamma Jeanne’s home are to work to reunite separated children with relatives, care for the children physically, and provide them with love and counseling to aid in their healing after severe trauma (witnessing murder, rape, beatings, etc.), and to provide the children with an opportunity to attend school.

Harvest Ministries Canada works in conjunction with Be A Hero in raising sponsorship and financial resources for Mamma Jeanne’s Orphanage and various projects in Goma City, Congo, Africa. For complete information on the completed work and work in progress at Mamma Jeannes Orphanage click here.
