Welcome to Orphelinat Cinq Étoiles

In a world where many children face unimaginable challenges, we stand as a beacon of hope. For years, vulnerability has affected countless children in the Democratic Republic of Congo, leaving them without families, homes, or opportunities for a brighter future.

At Orphelinat Cinq Étoiles, we believe every child deserves love, protection, quality education, and the chance to become productive members of society. Founded by MAMAN KAHINDO MASIKA Léontine, our organization is dedicated to transforming the lives of orphaned, abandoned, and street children in Matadi and beyond.

Through our comprehensive programs in education, vocational training, healthcare, and social development, we’re not just providing shelter—we’re building futures. Join us in our mission to turn vulnerability into strength, despair into hope, and potential into reality.

Who we are

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 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.

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.
