Summary/Abstract: The Foundation for Africa, a Hungarian NGO founded by the Congolese France Mutombo, operates a middle and high school and an orphanage in Kinshasa, DRC. The Foundation has spent the last 10 years building offering the possibility for underprivileged students to study in acceptable surroundings with professional staff in the impoverished Munganga district of the capital city. This paper provides an insight into the challenges, glories and sorrows the founders had to face while making their dreams come true.
