The Redemptorist Fathers in Congo
10/10/2024
Our Congolese Redemptorist Fathers are active in Central Congo, which lies between Kinshasa and Matadi. To support them in developing social projects, the non-profit organisation De Clemensactie was founded in Ghent in 2012.
One of our pillars is to provide quality education. Thanks mainly to donations from Switzerland, supplemented by a generous grant from the province of West Flanders, we were able to build a new nursery and primary school in our Saint-Irénée parish in Kinshasa.
On 3 September, at the start of the new school year, this magnificent school was officially inaugurated and the little ones and pupils are now in beautiful classrooms. We hope that the pupils will have a good time at school.
