About Us

Creating long-lasting positive change

About Us

The Lorris Kassongo Foundation is a humanitarian nonprofit organization committed to uplifting vulnerable individuals, especially orphans and single mothers, through programs that restore dignity, build self-sufficiency, and create real pathways to a brighter future.

Founded with a deep sense of empathy and driven by the power of community, we work to bridge the gap between hardship and hope. We are here for those the world too often overlooks—and we are here to make sure no one is left behind.

Our Mission

To provide hands-on support and sustainable solutions for those in need—through access to education, training, empowerment, and basic human necessities. We exist to give orphans a future and single mothers a second chance.
We believe that everyone deserves to live with dignity, regardless of their circumstances.

Our Vision

We envision a world where:
– Every child has access to quality education, food, and love
– Every single mother can stand independently with confidence and skills
– Communities thrive through solidarity, compassion, and opportunity

We’re building a society where mutual aid is a value, not an exception.

Our Values

Empathy: We walk alongside those we serve
Integrity: We act with honesty and transparency
Dignity: We treat every person with respect
Empowerment: We create tools for self-reliance
Community: We believe in collective impact
