One team, one conviction
Every human being needs to feel loved and wanted.
Three convictions, one direction
Love above all
It is our fuel, what drives us to act. We are loved, and we want to love in return.
Committed people
We are a team united by the desire to make a difference in this world.
Dreams in action
Everyone has a dream on their heart: together we act to make it real.
Love is a fundamental human need. Everyone who suffers exclusion should be able to meet this need to be loved.
To carry out projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that empower marginalised people, especially children.
Two founders, one team
“Since we met in 2010, my wife and I have shared one dream: to love and help those in need.”Kanda Kabangu
We are a team in France and a team in Kinshasa, brought together around one vision. The association was founded in 2013 by Kanda and Maïté Kabangu.

One Love today is not my work, it is our team’s: a team running towards the same vision, driven by love.
“Seeing a face lit up by love brings joy to my heart.”
With my husband Kanda, we founded One Love in 2013. I especially enjoy spotting other people’s talents and encouraging them to develop them.
Our values
Love others as yourself.
Believe in the impossible.
Carry out our actions with respect for the environment.
“The love we wish to pass on is an extension of our values: not to destroy but to build, not to impose but to show through acts of love that every person is loved, beyond borders, cultures or religions.”
“One Love, a team that believes Love is divine and can work through ordinary people like us by means of extraordinary acts!”

Volunteers, sponsors, choir members: each has a dream on their heart and has put it at the service of the children.
« Seeing all these abandoned children, left to fend for themselves, receive all the care they need, and above all love, gives life meaning. »
« Its members do not just give the children a roof and a meal: they surround them with attention and affection. »
« I learned that the most important thing is love: love among us, love given and shown to others. »
« Loving them and showing them that love is the only answer. With One Love, I can do it in a concrete way. »
« What marginalised people appreciate is simply being offered time, attention and love. »
« Children are gifts and blessings. We must look after them with kindness and give them the chance to succeed in life. »
