Option ONGD is our partner organisation in Kinshasa, which, as a legal structure in Congo, is the local sponsor of the Mokili Na Poche cultural centre.

We received the first funding to start the project of our own cultural centre in 2023 from the Oliver Herbrich Children’s Fund Foundation. It enabled us to renovate and convert the building so that it could be used for our purposes.

Catering for the children is a fundamental part of the work at the cultural center. We are delighted that the Einzehntel-Stiftung has been supporting us in this since 2021. Thanks to reliable and long-standing funding, we have even been able to expand the program.

Despite the initial fundamental renovation, there is always work to be done to maintain the cultural center. The Rotary Club A81-Bodensee-Engen will be supporting us in this in 2024.

Private donors have been generously supporting us since the start of the work to cover the new costs incurred and also to cushion unforeseen additional expenses – thank you very much!
