Grace Ministries is a registered nonprofit organization that has been operating in Eastern DRC since 2008. Founded by David Mtange and Hosea Mauridi, the orphanage was established to support children who lost their parents due to the ongoing wars that have affected the country since 1996. In addition to civil conflicts, natural disasters, disease, and hunger have devastated the region, prompting the two volunteers to create a safe haven where orphans can access food, education, psychosocial assistance, shelter, and care.

Currently, Grace Ministries provides housing and care for 77 children across four residential homes and operates a multi-purpose hall that serves as both an educational space and a food distribution center.

Urgent Need for Support

In 2024, the orphanage faced multiple crises. Initially, severe flooding forced a temporary relocation. However, upon returning, they were once again forced to flee due to escalating violence from M23 (March 23 Movement), an armed rebel group operating in North Kivu. M23 has since seized major cities, including Goma and Bukavu, displacing thousands of civilians.

Amid this crisis, 360 displaced women and children arrived at the orphanage, desperately seeking food, water, and shelter. In response, Hosea and David are actively raising funds to support both the orphans and the growing number of refugees seeking safety.
