      <image:title>Home - “Go and do likewise.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>The story of The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) gives us a clear picture of God’s desire for us to help those in desperate need wherever we find them. After describing how the Samaritan rescued a hurting man. Jesus told his audience, “Go and do likewise.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Affordable medicine for the Congolese</image:title>
      <image:caption>At the Masinga Foundation, we aim to do likewise by providing - medical aid in poor areas of the Congo. We have future plans as well, be the most urgent need is affordable medicine for the poor. Blaise’s own mother passed away because she was unable to obtain routine care and medicine for a treatable condition. In this and in other ways, God has shaped the life of our founders, Blaise and Mireille Masinga, through both the trials they have gone through and the Good Samaritans God has sent their way to help, and they feel like God’s plan for their ministry is to reflect their own history. As Blaise says, “your life story is your ministry.” Read more about their story here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Medicine for Those Without</image:title>
      <image:caption>Masinga Foundation provides aid for those in need in the Congo. Right now, our main priority is fulfilling medical needs. To do this, we provide local Congolese with basic medicine, either free or at an affordable cost through our Sephora Clinic. In Congo, a lack of basic medicine means that, in too many cases, an ailment that would otherwise be of little concern is now life-threatening. Beyond physical medicine, counseling services for survivors of violence and torture are needed, as both are too common a reality in Congo.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>One day, no person in the Congo will die or be maimed by preventable disease caused by lack of basic medicine. One day, no child in the Congo will suffer malnourishment due to systemic lack of resources and corruption. One day, victims of torture in the Congo will be whole again, and torture there will only exist in history lessons. — Blaise and Mireille Masinga Founders</image:caption>

      <image:title>Masinga Clinic - Masinga Clinic - Kinshasa, DRC</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sephora Pharmacy was a faith-based medical resource that was currently serving the local community in Kinshasa by providing free or low-cost, vitally needed medication to combat disease and infection from common illnesses. We are in the process of augmenting the pharmacy and turning it into a full clinic, named Masinga Clinic, with more medical services to aid the local community. This project is our main focus at the moment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Masinga Clinic</image:title>
      <image:caption>Blaise’s own mother tragically died several years ago because she was unable to get simple medications that are common and easily obtained in many other countries. The preventable death of his mother inspired Blaise and his wife, Mireille, to ensure that others would not meet the same tragic end. Thus, Sephora Pharmacy was born. All medicines that were available at Sephora clinic and that will be available at the new Masinga Clinic have so far been funded mostly by Blaise and his wife, Mireille out of their own finances. The goal of opening Masinga Clinic would be to raise money to sustain proper supplies of medicine, start to hire more healthcare workers to provide broader care, and open Masinga Clinic to the public as soon as possible. After that, Masinga Foundation wants to spread clinics like the Masinga Clinic to other parts of the DRC, like in Kikwit, where Blaise is from originally.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home (Copy) - Education to Make a Living</image:title>
      <image:caption>Second, we want to mentor select promising Congolese youth to continue their education. In Congo, education is not universal, and is too expensive for most families beyond a certain level. As a result, youth grow up unequipped to find employment that can sustain them or their family. Poverty is the result. On the other side of the equation, there is a lack of skilled workers in a variety of fields, which has resulted in a lowered quality of life for everyone.</image:caption>
