Tupende Wazee (Love our Seniors) is a 70+ group, who have been abandoned by their family members. Civil unrest has caused them to leave their ecosystems and lifestyles in the villages, leading to instability. There is no system in place to offer support.
This program has been running since 2019, offering psychological support, therapy, and Agape meals.
The Democratic Republic of Congo is rich in culture. We also connect them with the orphans supported by the church. Orphaned children can become disconnected from some wonderful traditions. We bring the two groups together and the children hear the stories from the 'grandmothers'. The children discover grandmas who pray for them and care about them as only a grandma can!
Through these activities we have seen lives transformed, health restored, and great joy as they flourish in a supportive community!
