Focus Area
Charitable Services
Direct, dignified support for the less privileged in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area and across Africa.
Why this matters
The need we respond to.
Every year, more than 2 million children in America face a period of homelessness. Forty per cent of them are under 18, and 57% go at least one day a month without food.

In Nigeria, over 68 million citizens are homeless or improperly housed, against a national housing shortage of nearly 20 million units.
