Save  The Orphans Whilem Marie Foundation was founded in Vancouver British Columbia in 2011 . The initiative came after the death of Whilem Kitsongo Masinda  and  Kavira Marie Mughenderwa in 2011 after immigrating to Canada in 2007.  Back in D.R.Congo, Whilem and Marie  were actively engaged in their community by helping orphans  pay tuition fees and helped many vulnerable women  pay  for maternity and health  care  cost without which  patients  were not allowed to go home .

The D.R.Congo has been devastated by a 20 year war, which has killed more than 8 million people. Among the estimated 8 million killed people are more than 4 million orphans  who need education, shelter, protection and health care .

By opening the charity after their names it is  a way of honoring them by  continuing their legacy . 

Our Vision

A world in which every child attains the right to survival needs, protection,  development and participation.

To inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats orphaned children  by Congolese war  and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their day to day lives whether at home or in displaced refugee camps.

 Respect and Dignity - We treat each other with fairness and respect .
