Construction Project of the Orphelinat Cinq Étoiles in BOKO 1
Introduction
For decades, vulnerability has devastated our country, the Democratic Republic of Congo. The economic situation has declined significantly, leading to the closure of many companies. As result, many families are unable to meet their basic needs, and children are the most affected, with increasing levels of vulnerability.
Considering the levels of poverty identified through studies and field surveys, the founder of this organization initiated the creation of this structure, which is recognized by the Government of the Republic and works in partnership with similar organizations.
Presentation Of  the Orphelinat Cinq Étoiles
OR.C.ET was created in Matadi as a Non-Governmental Development Organization governed by its statutes and internal regulations. It is a social organization with educational, philanthropic, socio-cultural, and professional objectives, aimed at the holistic development of vulnerable persons.
Our Motto
Our Location The social and administrative headquarters are located in BOKO I, KIONZO Grouping, LUFU Sector, SEKE-BANZA Territory, Central Kongo Province.
Legal Status
The organization is recognized by State Services, including Social Affairs, and collaborates with similar organizations.
Context
The Democratic Republic of Congo faces multiple forms of poverty due to its post-conflict status, political instability, and social inequalities. Many households are unable to meet their children’s basic needs, including education, healthcare, nutrition, vocational training, and housing.
These unfavorable living conditions do not provide a safe and protective environment for children, exposing them to various risks and social breakdown.
Justification
Orphans, street children, and abandoned children are among the most vulnerable groups in society. They face malnutrition, illiteracy, abuse, disease, drug use, and delinquency.
In Matadi, disparities in access to quality education are evident, particularly for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. This has contributed to juvenile delinquency, substance abuse, early sexuality, and crime.
This project aims to provide quality basic social services through initiatives led by MAMAN KAHINDO MASIKA Léontine under the Five Star Organization.
