About Us

Who we are

Orphelinat Cinq Étoiles is a registered Non-Governmental Development Organization based in Matadi, Democratic Republic of Congo. Officially recognized by the Government of the Republic and working in partnership with similar organizations, we are a social institution with educational, philanthropic, socio-cultural, and professional objectives.

We are more than an orphanage we are a family, a school, and a launching pad for future leaders. Our holistic approach addresses not just the immediate needs of vulnerable children, but also their long-term development, education, and integration into society.

Our Mission

Our mission is to supervise, protect, and empower street children, orphans, and abandoned children by providing comprehensive support that enables them to become self-sufficient, educated, and responsible members of society.

We accomplish this through:-

  • Protection & Care: Providing safe, loving homes where children are protected from exploitation, abuse, and neglect.
  • Quality Education: Offering complete educational pathways from nursery through university, ensuring no child is denied education due to circumstances.
  • Skills Development: Equipping children with practical vocational skills in tailoring, agronomy, electromechanics, veterinary studies, mechanics, IT, carpentry, and other trades.
  • Health & Nutrition: Ensuring access to healthcare, proper nutrition, and healthy living conditions.
  • Social Integration: Promoting civic responsibility, patriotism, and personal growth to prepare children for active participation in society.
  • Community Partnership: Collaborating with local and international partners to create sustainable solutions for child welfare.

Our Vision

To create a society where every orphaned, abandoned, and vulnerable child in the Democratic Republic of Congo has access to quality education, healthcare, protection, and opportunities to become productive, self-reliant citizens who contribute positively to their communities and nation.

We envision a future where:-

  • No child is left behind due to poverty or circumstance.
  • Every child receives holistic education and vocational training.
  • Vulnerable children transform into actors and beneficiaries of development.
  • Communities actively participate in protecting and nurturing their most vulnerable members.
  • Our model of care and education becomes a benchmark for child welfare across Central Africa.
