Bethesda Relief International, Inc.

Increase our ability to aid 80 orphans on a monthly basis.

Complete construction of the school facility.

Send teachers to Congo.

Planning for fresh water well, clinic and orphanage.

We believe in helping people help themselves. Breaking the cycle of poverty is critical to ending the plight of orphans and we believe is best achieved through providing for education while meeting their daily needs for food, shelter, clothing, medical care. By educating these children, they will be able to rise out of their desperate situations.

We work in partnership with a local minister in Congo-Kinshasa, who is native to country. This ensures funds and assistance is given to people who truly need it.

We have been able to maintain consistent support since 2005. While others have dropped support for Bishop Bofata, we have been able to remain as a steady source of support for his work.

We have not been able to complete the construction work on the school to open it. We had hoped to open 4 school rooms in Sept 2012, but funding limitations prevented it. As of Sept 2017, we have three classrooms open, and have 13 more to go.

In 2016, A well for drinking water was drilled which now provides clean drinking water for the school and surrounding area. For 2018, we hope to open two more classrooms and start offering high school level classes.
