After surviving a church bombing in the Congo and a dangerous escape, Sabuli Sanguma and her children found refuge in the U.S. Later, feeling a call to aid her homeland, Sabuli established a center in the Congo to help orphans and abandoned children.

Great news! The Sanguma Foundation (TSF) has hired a new Executive Director, Joël Nseka Lesa. Joël is a person whose deep faith profoundly informs his values and drives his commitment to serving others. With a degree in economics from the Protestant University in Congo and certification in project management, monitoring, and evaluation, Joël has established himself as a passionate advocate for humanitarian causes.

Lischa Maccallum recounts her life-changing decision to move from Canada to Congo, working at Sabuli’s Children Center. She highlights the lessons of community and resilience she’s learned and her commitment to the children’s futures amidst adversity.

In a world often dimmed by the shadow of conflict and injustice, it’s the unexpected sparks of humanity and kindness that can illuminate a path forward.
