Back To School 2021-2022: Their future is our Passion

Tags :

Category : Children

Oftentimes, the opportunity we have to make an impact is right in front of us. We want to remind you that giving and being of service does not need to be extravagant, we just need to be willing to offer what is in our hands.

Throughout this school year, Flamme d’Avenir is highlighting the current need for sponsorship. Each sponsored child is a story changed. We are highlighting boys and girls that are in need of sponsorship.

It is important to encourage, support and nurture the gifts of the children. They might be the next great leaders, or entrepreneurs, or scientists, or athletes, or artists, or musicians or pastors. Whatever it is, we can help to bring this out. It is a gift to their community and the world.

Flamme d’Avenir’s Educational Program is a Child Sponsorship Program in which financial support is provided for the most vulnerable children in the DRC so they can attend school. Some of these children are handicapped, abused, orphans, former child soldiers, or from underprivileged families.

Access to education is a life/nation changing oppourtunity that you can be a part of. A donation for these children is an investiment that will shape the future of their communities.

Sponsoring a child gives life and hope for a better future. Each Flamme d’Avenir’s scholarship includes : tuition, supplies, uniforms and other fees so every child can chase their dreams.

For an average of $250, you can send one of the children we care for to school for one year with tuition, medical care, school supplies, and uniform paid for. If you prefer, you can make a monthly donation in the amount of $25. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated.

Your sponsorship will change a life of a child in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Burundi, Africa. We believe it’s a big deal to give to a child you may never physically meet, but we know that the relationship you will build with the child you support and the impact you will have on their life is totally worth the investment.

We desire for you to truly know the child you sponsor and we guarantee they will know you. Your child will rely on your monthly support to attend school. They will look forward to writing you messages, share their academic progress, and send video messages from time-to-time. They need you.

Flamme d’Avenir uses a lifecycle approach in our educational programs that focuses on the needs of children at all stages of development: early childhood, basic education, adolescence, and youth. We are committed to seeing each child who is selected to receive a Flamme d’Avenir’s scholarship, graduate and receive their diploma.

Support for Families and Children from volcano disaster in Goma

Category : Uncategorized

We are raising money to assist with the relief efforts related to the ongoing crisis after the Nyiragongo Volcano erupted on Saturday 22th May 2021 without warning.  Goma is a beautiful lakeside town just on the outskirts of the Virunga National Park, home to about 1.5 million people in Eastern Congo.

While the initial lava flow stopped short of the city center, hundreds of earthquakes have rocked the area, the death toll is estimated at about 35 so far, and the eruption destroyed essential water, electricity and road infrastructure for the city.  The volcano continues to threaten further activity, which prompted the evacuation of about 400,000 people on Thursday May 27th .

Since last week, families are beginning to return to their homes. Many of their homes have been broken into and looted, others have not withstood the effects of the earthquakes and others (who are living North outside of Goma) are completely destroyed by lava. Parents have been out of employment for couple of weeks and many may come back to a job that may not be there anymore. There are also many missing children, because families were separated during the scramble to evacuate.

Please join us with your contribution in order to give hope to these victims of volcano eruption and the ongoing crisis in the region. Donate by giving to: https://www.flammedavenir.org/donate/

The money will help the victims to survive, cure they wounds, give them basic medical help, deliver food and basic products for them and help to rebuild their houses.

Spreading joy to a child in need, Christmas Project 2016
Spreading joy to a child in need – Christmas Project

For the past 5 years, we have been celebrating Christmas as part of our Flamme d’Avenir Education program, gathering more than 500 children.

The Children’s Christmas Project is a special and unique opportunity to bring some joy to children whose parents are not in a financial position to give them something special during this festive time of the year. Through this event, the children are invited to gather, rejoice and have fun, enjoy a delicious feast, hear a message of Christ’s love and enjoying the holiday together.

Enjoy a delicious feast – Christmas Project

When you give a gift through Flamme d’Avenir, you’re helping to ensure that every child in our programme receives a tangible expression of God’s love at Christmas time.

Thank you for sharing your Christmas with children who have so little – it means so much to them and it is a moment of pure joy.

This Christmas, spread some joy to a child in need – click below to donate to our Christmas Appeal today. Donations in ANY amount are greatly appreciated.

You can give a beautiful gift of nutritious food for a hungry family, that can grow and multiply

Category : Children

Thanks to the support from our friends in Canada, we are able to launch a new project to give chickens to the children we serve.

Through this project, Flamme d’Avenir aims to provide vital nutrition to children and families while also giving them the opportunity to earn extra income through animal & agricultural support.

Would you consider joining the efforts of our friends in Canada? We need your support so that we can serve many more children in need.

For only $25 USD, you will provide a needy family with 2 chickens.    
You may click HERE TO GIVE

Chickens and their eggs are a beautiful gift of nutritious food you can give for a hungry family. They are easy to breed–so your gift can grow and multiply to create income, share with neighbors, and ultimately make a better life for the whole village.

Your gift of chickens will also naturally multiply to impact generations of children. Each family that receives chickens can sell the offspring for extra income or share them with other families in need. Chicks require little money, space, or food to thrive and grow; making them an ideal business venture for a single mom or vulnerable family.

We are so grateful because it’s a big help, especially in providing even more for the needs of the children we are already serving with their schooling and their health. The families who benefit from this project will be able to sell chickens and eggs to their neighbors, using the income to buy rice, milk, sugar, and school supplies for their children.

At Flamme d’Avenir, we believe that if we can change a life we can also change a family, and if we can change a family, we can also change a community and if we can change enough communities, we will change the world.

Donations in ANY amount are greatly appreciated.

Christmas Project 2016: We are going to celebrate Christmas Joy with the Children in Uvira

Christmas Project 2015
Christmas Project 2015

This year as we observe our season of Christmas, let us be grateful not only in word but also in deed. Let our gratitude find expression as we resolve to live a life more as Jesus taught us.

When we sit around our tables laden with sumptuous delicacies, let us not forget that nearly a billion people around the world will go to bed hungry. As we enjoy the comforts of our cozy homes, let us not forget that great numbers have no homes to go to. When we step into our modern cars, let us not forget that many people in the world cannot afford even a bicycle.

The Children’s Christmas Project is a special and unique opportunity to bring some joy to children whose parents are not in a financial position to give them something special during this festive time of year. This project reaches beyond the ministry of the children in the education program. Through this event, the children are invited to gather, rejoice and have fun, enjoying the holiday together.

Christmas is a time for celebration and giving and sharing with one another, so it is at this time when we do our best to bring joy to others by hosting a party such as this.

For the past 3 years, we have been celebrating Christmas as part of our Flamme d’Avenir Education program, gathering 300+ community members, including our 50+ children enrolled in the educational sponsorship program.

How you can help:

  • You can start a ‘’Christmas Circle’’: in this case, you will share with at least one or more closer friends or family members about this Christmas Project and each will contribute according to his/her means. This money will help us to serve and feed many children during this Christmas Event.
  • Make a donation to support women’s activities: Your contribution will help our sponsored children’s mothers to start small business activities which will help them provide for their families and create a better future.
  • Sponsor a child: Would you be willing to sponsor a child’s education? Maybe you are already sponsor and are able to sponsor another? Perhaps you would like to sponsor on behalf of someone else or give sponsorship to someone as an extra special birthday or Christmas gift? Do you know of a friend or relative that would consider sponsoring?

Each life sponsored is a story changed!

Distribution of Medical Supplies at Mshimbakye Health Center and Nundu Deaconess Hospital

Category : Health

‘’FAV Health’’ is our health program through which we provide logistical support to local health facilities. In addition to supporting patients who are unable to pay medical bills, we also provide support to survivors of sexual violence, equip the medical personnel and organize conferences in exchange for information and experience in the medical field.

In January 2015, with the support of Partage International (our Canadian International Organization Partner), we distributed our first medical supplies and spent time touring Medical Centres and Hospitals in the territory of Fizi. We now have a better understanding of the challenges that they are facing and are exploring other possible ways we can contribute.

Ongoing humanitarian crises and lack of resources has left hospitals in the Fizi Zone without the capacity to adequately serve the 405,255 inhabitants who live in this Zone.

After decades of violent conflict and medical neglect, and due to a lack of access to health care services, this local population is in great need of medical care. Furthermore, the hospitals in this zone have not escaped the conflict unharmed either. Pillaging and theft has further depleted the hospital’s stock of medications and materials and left them without the ability to respond and provide sufficient care for patients and localities at large.

Directed by Congolese physicians, the Mshimbakye Health Center and Nundu Deaconess Hospital serve a large population with few resources and little assistance. In order to help address their great need for medical supplies we, with support from Partage International, distributed medical supplies to  both the Mshimbakye Health Center and Nundu Deaconess Hospital. These supplies included hospital bed sheets, medical uniforms, hospital bed pads and forceps.

After working a lot in Katanga village, I spent my time with the kids (October 2015).

I am delighted to introduce you to our new website.  This is where we plan to share our projects. We also plan to give updates on Flamme d’Avenir’s activities, including our latest news on our programs, events, etc. We are continuing to update it with useful information about our work, so please do check back with us for updates.

After a couple of years, most of our donors were unable to send their donations through Paypal. We are now more than happy to announce the launch of our new website within a PayPal button and a ‘’Donate Today’’ page, where people can make their online donations.

We hope you like the fresh new look to the website and the improved navigation that will allow you to find the information you need more quickly and easily.

I am writing an article about our ‘’2015 Christmas Project’’ and other projects which have taken place during 2015 and yes, I promise to keep you up to date with all our news.

Lastly, and most importantly, thanks for all your support as always, wishing you a bright, prosperous, and glorious happy new year 2016. I hope together we will do more than what we have just done this year.
