Sister Yengo's Children is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization formed to help those in need in sub-saharan Africa, particularly in the Republic of the Congo.  Under the leadership of Sister Brigitte Yengo, the organization raises funds to sustain the operation of her orphanage in Brazzaville, develop programs of self-sufficiency and procure equipment for victims of polio, blindness and other handicaps.

Organized in the State of Illinois, donations to Sister Yengo's Children are tax-deductible to the extent provided by law. Richard Lamb is a member of the Board.
