Achlevements and Performance
Annual Re
ort for Prokln- Year ended 31>1 March 2025
Arriving al the end of another year - ending 3151 March 2025, we Can look back and see how the work of Prokin in
Kinshasa has continued during the year coming lo an end.
1. The financial year April 2024 to March 2025 has brought changes in the number of children in Ihe Prokin
orphanage.
a. Six of Ihe older chlldren, who were living in rented houses paid for by Prokin, have now become
independent and are no longer supported by Prokin. They have completed Iheir education
courses and are now self-supporting.
b. Several new, smaller children, have joined the Prokin family. There are 3 boys and onè girl. Two
of them were transferred by Social SèNices from another orphanage where they wer8 not bèing
well cared for. The other children were living on the streets. Thè latest boys were both
orphans (but not related to each other) and were only about 3 years old.
These 'new' children were very malnourished when they arrived, but Ihgy were checked
medically and have made good improvement.
2. All the Prokin children continue wilh their schoollcollege studies first at Primary school and laler they choose lo
study a practical course at Secondary school.. e.g., Nursing, dressmaking. art & design, accountancy etc.
3. Mama Bibi (one of the cooks al Prokinl died. Some of the older Prokin children now help in the preparation of food.
4. Severe rains in the wet season (mid-seplember lo March) caused a lot of flooding and devastation lo roads. This
hasmade any travel so much more hazardous and lime-consuming. Thankfully the orphanage was not flooded that
transport became extremely difficult - lo buy food and the transport of the children lo their studies. The poor road
condilions have taken a big loll on the maintenance of the Prokin vehicles.
S. Benjamin- the man who came to Prokin lo do Bible courses with the children- died after a brief illnass. Now some
of the older boys do the Bible course work with all the Ghildren.
6. Late 2024, the Justice-minisler brought out a new rule that all the churches needed lo be registered. There are five
churches in different parts of Kinshasa, that are under the jurisdiction of Prokin. These are.. Prokin Funa (held in the
Prokin compound), Mpassa, Kinkole, Terre Jaune and Unikin. The Prokin Manager keeps all the documenlation and
he is now pursuing this new registration. 11 has been quite costly but the Manager is careful to make sure everylhing
is in order.
7. The 'farm' 15 a piece of land owned by Prokin. 11 was used to keep pigs bul an epidemic killed all the pigs. The land
is now being used to grow food.. manioc. maize elc. There is also a small pond where fish are kept. The children go
lo the farm on Saturdays when they don't have school. They ensure the upkeep of the 'farm'.
8. Trustees.. Arthur Hodgett resigned as a trustee al the end of March 2024. Paul Blenkinsop has now become a
Prokin truslee.
9. At the September 2024 meetin9 of the Truslees, il was decided it was not good lo have considerable funds Ihe
Barclays Savings account. It was decided to move amounls from this accounl to open accounts al other banks. Paul
Blenkinsop has undertaken to make enquiries about inleresl rates etc. Prokin now has new accounts at three olher
banks.. United Trusl Bank.. Hampshire Trust Bank and Redwood Bank. Paul is searching for a 4th banklbuilding
society.
10. In March there were bad floods in Kinshasa when the River Ndjili ovefflowed. Water pipes were damaged and
have not been repaired so Seba has had lo buy drinking water in bottles for the children. Getting around the city Is
extremely diffiGuII with many roads out of action. There are long IraffiG queues.
