Dorcas Mbambu Kiharami has been a local Mother Theresa in Butembo for hundreds, likely thousands of orphans. A trained nurse, she has overseen an orphanage and school for orphans representing the neediest of the needy. The continuous wars and violence in North Kivu province have delivered an unending stream of orphans in an environment where a supportive government is strained, limited or non-existent. When the government is unable to provide basic services, it is up to good people to step into the breach.
Dorcas has cared for children with desperate needs, and frequently asks for help with urgent hospital bills. She understands that it is far better to be as self-sustaining as possible (currently impossible), so she has been an eager supporter of the sewing project which provides long training skills and badly needed funds through the sale of school uniforms. CMS Ireland (Anglican) and Semiliki Trust have been great partners with her as well.
Childless herself, she does what she does due to her passionate love for the orphans and her strong Christian faith.
Dorcas was recently involved with a Christian outreach program with multiple local churches and a nearby orphanage, the Malaika Orphanage. Dorcas provided the following itinerary for an uplifting event:
