We Are Launching the Dr. Idrissa Faye Memorial Hospital
Africa Cries Out is officially launching the Dr. Idrissa Faye Memorial Hospital, a life‑changing medical center in honor of our beloved teammate, Dr. Idrissa Faye, who passed away in 2017 while serving the leprosy village of Kalom, Senegal.
His sacrifice lit a fire in us. Today, that promise becomes action.
Construction has begun — and this is your invitation to be part of it.
For years, our small clinic has delivered 300+ babies, treated 6,000+ patients, and performed surgeries in borrowed operating rooms. The need has outgrown our capacity — and the people of Senegal deserve more.
This new hospital will provide:
- Year‑round outpatient care
- Safe deliveries & maternal health
- Emergency surgery
- Pediatric & family medicine
- Future specialties as the hospital grows
This is the beginning of a multi‑phase project that will become a full regional medical center.
We are laying the first stones. We are honoring Dr. Faye’s legacy. We are building hope for generations.
Let love be seen. Let lives be healed.
