Community Service

The problem of homelessness in our community is acute. In partnership with HOTPIC in Cameroon, The Agatha Foundation helps provide shelter for homeless children and girls. We know of women thrown out of their homes by their husbands for different reasons or spouses abused and battered. It is a common tale to hear of girls who become pregnant out of wedlock disowned by their families and left to themselves and pressured to abort against their will or lose accommodation. The HIV stigma further compounds the story.

In partnership with mental health facilities in Washington DC, The Agatha Foundation provides transportation to the homeless to their psychiatric appointments. In addition, we provide them with breakfast and clothing at these facilities to help uplift and reduce the pressure of going through life as a homeless.
