From February 25 to 28, 2025, Fr. Ismael Matambura SJ conducted several supervision visits to the field activities of the African Jesuit AIDS Network (AJAN), including the “Building Resilience in Women and Young Girls in Africa (BRWGA)”project. This initiative, supported by the Canadian Jesuits International, deserves my sincere gratitude. The project is implemented at St. Ignatius Center by the Christian Life Community (CLC) of St. Ignatius in Kinshasa, within St. Kizito Parish in Kingabwa, located in the western part of Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This support has enabled AJAN to fulfill one of its core missions:“Investing in young women to uplift and build families, the foundation of human society.”
