In this blog, we’ll show you exactly how your contributions are used, why transparency matters, and the incredible impact your Christian fundraising efforts make on real communities.

Why Faith-Based Giving Is So Powerful

Giving to a faith-based nonprofit like Friends of Africa means your donation supports both physical needs and spiritual growth. It’s more than aid—it’s hope delivered with the love of Christ.

Your donations help us:

• Fund mission trips to unreached regions

• Build and repair churches and community centers

• Support Christian schools and provide educational materials

Real Stories: How Your Donations Are Changing Lives

🏥 Medical Care and the Gospel

Thanks to donor support, we organized a mobile medical mission that treated over 600 people in Togo. Along with basic care and medications, patients received prayer, counseling, and an invitation to join local Bible studies.

📚 Education With a Purpose

In partnership with Christian schools, your giving helped provide school supplies and Bible study materials for 200 children in rural Kenya. Many are now first-generation readers and leaders in their communities.
