FHF and GPiH Partner to Bring Health and Hope to Madengbe & Zaphe, Benin West Africa

A dream written in our hearts is finally coming true! We are overjoyed to announce that on May 13, 2026, Femi’s Heart Foundation and Global Partners in Hope (GPiH) signed a official Partnership Agreement to bring vital healthcare to Madengbe, Benin! 🇧🇯

Right now, healthcare access in this region is well below the national average. But change is on the way. Utilizing the 27 acres of land donated to FHF in 2023, this project will serve 4 surrounding villages and impact over 20,000 lives! Here is how we are making it happen with GPiH:

💧 Phase 1 ($17K): Bringing clean water and solar electricity to power the community.

🏥 Phase 2 ($190K): Building a fully equipped health center, training local medical staff, and ensuring long-term sustainability.

We are so excited for this next chapter and deeply grateful for the partnership of GPiH and your continuous support. As you hear it in the video it from IAN Vickers, GPiH, Founder & CEO, Femi's Heart needs to provide the funds. NOW THAN EVER WE NEED YOU TO PARTNER WITH US. ❤️ DONATE NOW

A Miracle in the Making: Femi's Heart Maternal Neonatology &

Femi's Heart to Bring Health and Hope to Madengbe & Zaphe, Benin in West Africa

PHASE 1 FULLY FUNDED! THANK YOU! 🎉 Because of your incredible support and generosity, Phase 1 is officially complete. Together, we are turning vision into reality!

Now, we step boldly into Phase 2—bringing us one step coser to transforming lives and providing life-saving care.

  • Phase 2 ($190,000): Construction of the medical health center, provision of medical equipment, local staff training, and a long-term sustainability plan.

This is more than just a building—it is a sustainable foundation for health, dignity, and life. 

The Critical Healthcare Crisis in Madegbe and Zaffé1 

The provided transcript describes a visit to Madengbé, a rural village located in the Zaffé district within the Commune of Glazoué. Local representatives highlight that while their district is the third most populated in the region, it suffers from a severe lack of healthcare infrastructure and government support. The residents face life-threatening challenges due to dilapidated road conditions, which make transporting pregnant women and the sick to distant hospitals nearly impossible. Consequently, many medical emergencies result in preventable deaths occurring during the arduous journey to seek care. The speakers emphasize that despite their significant political representation, the community feels neglected and isolated from essential modern services.

Thank you for walking with us on this journey to turn vision into reality!

NOW MORE THAN EVER, WE NEED YOU.
