Sponsor Orphaned African Children in the Congo

Several of 13 offspring of the late Daniel Mugangu (deceased on 21 July 1987) have teamed up with their beloved friend Ms. Alison Dibble of Blue Hill, Maine, to create a Foundation as a memoriam to his name, the Mugangu D. Foundation, or FONDAMU as acronym. Among those Daniel offspring are Dieudonné Trinto (better known in the USA as Mugangu), Déogratias, Déocard, Dénise, Dénis, Donat and Jean de Dieu to name a few of the 13 some.

The Mugangu family has a long standing experience of integrating orphaned children into their homes. Such homes are for instance in Kinshasa, the capital city of DRCongo, and Lukumbo village of the Ngweshe tribal chiefdom in the Walungu Territory of South Kivu Province. In Kinshasa, since 1994, Trinto’s home had once integrated up to 4 orphans; Déocard’s home supported two, and Denis, Donat & Jean de Dieu’s lived with one orphan each. Ever since 1958, especially in Lukumbo, the late Daniel Mugangu and his widow Consolata M’Katu (alive) have had up to 10 orphans at one time, and always lived with these and raised them along their own 13 children.
