Makimbilio And The New Story of Fizi

People are tired of the history of Congo. They do not want it for another day. No generation should every again live in the story of the Congo’s past. That sin must be over. It's a mistake. We choose to fix that.

This is our experiment.

People are thirsty for a new vision of Congo, so, we are telling a new story. It has already begun. It is a story about God’s own experiment for Fizi - an experiment that arises from the roots of Fizi - people from Fizi bringing about change in themselves to improve their lives and lift up the lives of others.

We are The Creators of Makimbilio, the City of Refuge, where the failures of the past are abandon and the seeds of the future are sown. We are refugees walking in the steps of refuge, forging a life style that assures our improvement and growth. We are walking, step by step to Makimbilio. This is the experiment.

We can’t tell how it will work out. We have to take a chance, have faith in things unseen - faith that things can work out right. We can tell a new story and make it come true. We can teach it to our children so that they carry it through time. Imagine what Fizi might become if we planted the seeds of growth?

With time and effort, we have learned how to grow a city of refuge from these seeds. We have very simple, easy to understand steps that can train all of us up into our best performance. We now walk in these steps of Makimbilio. This alone can lift our fortunes. But that is not enough.

We have joined these ideas to methods and skills we can use to make things better immediately, build a new world by our own hands, our own hearts, our own minds. Yayayo ya Makimbilio. With this wisdom and skill we are adding money – microloans to be used to prosper ourselves, our families, our people. We have designed all of this to grow.

If we walk in the steps of Makimbilio, all of this can grow. We work now to come to Fizi and sow these seeds at Makimbilio. There we will raise the New Tents of Africa. Like tabernacles in the wilderness,  in our school, in our health center, in our laboratory and in our market we will teach and train, practice and perfect all productive things.
