Jacques and Ruth Engulu moved to the United States from the Democratic Republic of Congo over 26 years ago in search of safety and better life for their children. After coming to America and raising their five children here, Jacques and Ruth Engulu, began to pray for peace and hope in their homeland. Thinking about the children who were suffering, Ruth Engulu felt compelled by her Christian faith to help orphans by transforming her home in Congo into a haven for children. In 2020, Ruth’s Home for Children was officially established as a non-profit organization with the mission of providing a safe and loving home for children and ending the orphan crisis in Congo.
