Mission Africa

Mission Africa aims to empower children and families in the South King County communities of Washington State and in the remote villages of Africa by providing support in three core areas - education, healthcare and poverty alleviation.

Smiles at Christmas: 

Every Christmas, Mission Africa organizes an event called “Smiles at Christmas” to benefit poor families in the Renton, Kent, Auburn, Federal Way communities of Washington State.

Parents and/or guardians bring their children to the event, and each child is given donated items such as warm coats, games, clothing, and toys.

Children are entertained with party jumpers, face painting, craft making, cotton candy, popcorn etc. during this event, while their parents or guardians “shop.” The gifts are then packaged so the parents can bring them home without their children knowing the contents.

Mission Africa's approach at this event gives parents the opportunity to provide for their children with dignity and we have given away over 30,000 toys/ warm coats to children and families in the South King County communities of WA State, in the past 14 years.

Back to School Event:  

Mission Africa hosts a back to school event every year. During this event, Mission Africa gives backpacks filled with free school supplies to elementary school students.
We send smiling children on their way to a successful school year, continuing our mission to help educate children, whether overseas in Africa, or right here in our neighboring communities. Click here to donate towards this program.

Our 2020 event featured a drive through event in compliance to all social distancing protocols because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
