Chantal Kasongo

 

Shiloh Place Orphanage is the realization of the dream of Chantal Kasongo, who was born and raised in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).   Chantal grew up in a large family and became compassionately concerned about the children in her community, including those that had become orphaned and destitute after losing one or more of their parents to the all too common diseases that continue to ravage Africa.

What began as Chantal’s concern for children, in time turned to resolve.  The vision of creating a safe and loving educational environment where children could grow and learn became a driving force in her life.  Through hard work and dedication to her dream, Chantal’s vision began to inform her life’s decisions.  Chantal commenced studies in administration and became aware that with greater opportunity to earn and save, she could realize her dream at an accelerated pace if she relocated and worked from Canada.
