The discussion in her office focused on possible cooperation on a project to promote and stabilize marriages.</p> <p class="Default">The Minister welcomed the project with open arms and great enthusiasm. She insisted that it be integrated into her ministerial functions and implemented nationally. In light of their discussions, the Minister quickly decided to rename a national program from “Women’s House” to “Family House”. In this regard, she said: “The need for support is not exclusive to women, but extends to all members of the family.”</p> <p style="text-align:justify">The meeting was an opportunity for the Church to invite the minister to the interfaith event called “Bride Price.” The event aims to reduce the cost of dowry and commemorate the mass marriages of 100 couples with the aim of promoting the practice of formal marriage registration. The minister’s agreement to participate signifies the beginning of a fruitful collaboration that promises to bring prosperity to many families in the Democratic Republic of Congo.</p> </article-body></article> </p></div> <section id="social" class="social"> <div class="social-wrapper"> <div class="social-holder"> <ul> <li> </li> <li> <a data-dnt="true" data-count="horizontal" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=http://news-africa.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/leaders-of-the-church-of-jesus-christ-of-latter-day-saints-meet-with-the-minister-of-gender-family-and-children-in-kinshasa-in-the-democratic-republic-of-congo&text=Leaders%20of%20The%20Church%20of%20Jesus%20Christ%20of%20Latter-day%20Saints%20meet%20with%20the%20Minister%20of%20Gender%2C%20Family%20and%20Children%20in%20Kinshasa%2C%20in%20the%20Democratic%20Republic%20of%20Congo" data-lang="" data-via="" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></p> <p> </a> </li> <li> </li> <li> </li> <li> <textarea type="text" id="input-url" value="article-full-url"/><br /> <span class="btn-copy social-btn svg-social-button awesome-button" style="font-family: awesome;"><br /> <span class="social-inner-dark"></span><br /> </span><br /> <span class="nr-ig-copied">Copied to clipboard</span> </li> <li class="whatsapp-social"> <p> <span class="social-inner-dark"></span></p> </li> </ul></div> </p></div> </section> <p class="style_guide"> <strong>Style Guide Note:</strong><span>When referring to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, please use the full name of the Church in the first reference.
