The
Shalupe Foundation
is a 501(c)(3)
organization. It was born on December
2nd of 2000 due to
the circumstances
our country,
the
Democratic Republic
of the Congo
encountered during
the war. By
definition, Shalupe
means lifeboat.
As a
non-profit
organization.
we
hope to become that
lifeboat of a
drowning and sinking
country, whom no one
seems to care about.
We
want to reach out to
orphans, homeless
kids, widows,
victims of war, HIV
infected people,
teenage mothers,
women victims of
violence. In brief
we want to reach out
every deprived
person in the
Democratic Republic
of Congo; the poor,
the hungry, the
sick, the naked, the
hopeless, the
homeless and the
crying and give them
a lifeboat
The Shalupe
Foundation is a
