Orphanage
Background
The Good Samaritan Orphanage was founded in 1992 by Bethy Ngoy. This orphanage is known as “Chez Maman Beti”. During our visit, the orphanage had nearly 120 children, 28 of whom were in school. Les Anges s’envolent has awarded scholarships to some children. Contact us if you want to support the education of orphans.
During our inspection, it was clear that the orphanage needed help on several levels. The children lived in precarious conditions. The orphanage did not have enough beds for all the children. Children under 10 slept on the floor. The orphanage did not have enough spoons, cups, etc. for all the children. Our team observed children eating porridge using their fingers due to the lack of spoons.
