The project "Ferme de Vie" - An agricultural center 80 km from Kinshasa (DRC) aims to achieve an agricultural production that can meet the propper demand and are capable to excess production to invest in the education of children which work for the center and to contribute to the livelihoods of the other centers conducted by the OSPEOR. The Agricultural Center also aims to become a community center for development by supporting the peasants who live in the surrounding area in order to increase their incomes and to improve their living conditions. The local partner, the non profit association OSPEOR, legally represented by P. Francesco Cavalieri, is an organization that carries out its activities to help children at risk through its social work. The association manages, in the capital Kinshasa, three centers dedicated to social assistance and education of street children: the "Foyer Père Monti", the " Centre Frère Maino" , the “Collège Frère Emmanuel Stablum” and a maternal and child health facility called "Centre de Santé Ngondo Maria". The OSPEOR takes part of the network of childcare facilities and education "Reejer" with which exchanges resources and experiences in order to guide and to optimize operations in the territory.
