Visit our Tree of Impact Display!

This Black History Month, we reflected on the contributions of individuals who resonated deeply with Mission Africa's focus areas of Education, Healthcare, and Poverty Alleviation. Spotlighting figures like Charlotte Forten Grimke, Patricia Bath, and John Hope Franklin, exemplify the profound impact that dedicated individuals can have on their communities. Their legacies mirror our mission to nurture healthier, more educated, and economically stable communities locally and globally.

Black History Month is more than a period of recognition; it's a time for reflection on the cultural heritage and contributions of the Black community. As this month draws to a close, we carry forward the inspiration from individuals like Grimke, Bath, and Hope, reinforcing our commitment to making a tangible impact.

As we look forward to our Annual Medical Outreach on our upcoming Spring mission trip to Nigeria, we're seeking to enrich our team with the expertise of medical doctors from Eastern Nigeria. This vital component of our mission offers free medical services to underserved communities, embodying our commitment to accessible healthcare for all.

Our volunteer team, comprising medical professionals, pharmacists, nurses, doctors, and more, has been instrumental in providing quality care. To enhance our outreach and continue offering comprehensive services, we welcome the involvement of additional medical doctors. If you're a doctor interested in contributing to a meaningful cause, we would be delighted to have you join us.

Stay tuned for opportunities to join us on our 2025 mission trip!

Community Corner: Meet Dr. Charles Onyegbado!

Delivering Compassionate Care and Renewing Hope

We have been extremely privileged to have Dr. Charles Onyegbado, MBBS MPH, on our Spring Medical Outreach team! Dr. Charles is a dedicated doctor with a passion for serving vulnerable communities, particularly those affected by infectious diseases. Dr. Charles has brought invaluable medical expertise and a compassionate heart, significantly enhancing our efforts to provide basic health interventions.

Here is a testimony from Dr. Charles

"I work as a doctor, providing services for vulnerable individuals, especially those affected by infectious diseases.Mission Africa's 2019 outreach gave me the opportunity to reach out to individuals who lack basic health interventions. It was the first time I volunteers for the outreach. Highlights for me were the large number of children that came out for the outreach. During consultation, I noticed a young boy of 15 with features of immunosuppression. He was yet to complete primary education, obviously due to the recurrent school dropouts due to illness. We eventually provided counselling and tests and he tested positive for HIV. I felt fulfilled that we eventually linked him to treatment services close to the village. Without the outreach, probably he would not have been identified and linked to care. A light has shone on his future and he can harness all the potential life has to offer although he tested positive for HIV."

Mission Africa is proud to have Dr. Charles Onyegbado as part of our family, and we look forward to many more years of changing lives, one village at a time.
