Friends In Africa is a charity that hosts quarterly, two-day free medical clinics that care for the poor, sick and starving people of Senegal through medical and dental treatment, feeding programs and health education. At each clinic we treat an average of 1,000 desperate patients and at each feeding program we provide a nutritious meal to thousands of malnourished people.
My Fathers House is a children's home that provides a family environment for no more than 10 children at a time. The children are provided nourishing meals, enrolled in a private school and nurtured, helping them grow into independent, family oriented, productive adults.
