BRING THE WISDOM OF THE CHURCH, ENSHRINED PARTICULARLY IN HER SOCIAL TEACHING, TO BEAR [ON SOCIETY ]. POPE FRANCIS, ADDRESS TO KENYAN BISHOPS, APRIL 16, 2015 T he people of Africa are joyous and faith-filled, but they also often face challenges due to poverty, the high incidence of disease, food shortages, and migration. The Church in Africa journeys with people gifted with a vibrant spirituality and is a source of hope and faith. The Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa supports pastoral projects that foster lasting peace and reconciliation in a continent often marked by division and tension. Pope Francis challenges us: Touched by Christ s infinite mercy, may all the faithful be signs of the reconciliation, justice and peace that God wills for... all of Africa (April 16, 2015). Despite the vast number of valuable natural resources, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is one of the world s poorest countries. Many do not have access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation, or to basic social services, such as education or health care. The illiteracy rate in the country is high and especially affects women. In addition, many migrants and war refugees 2014 DISTRIBUTION OF GRANTS immigrate to the DRC, straining already sparse resources. Through a grant from the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa (SFCA), the Naomi Center in Kisantu can provide more vocational training and faith formation for young migrants and illiterate mothers.
