About Us
Who is MeMA?
Medical Missions Africa (MeMA) is a non-profit organization committed to serving Christ by bringing hope and transformation to underserved and unreached communities in Africa and beyond. We exist to demonstrate the love of Christ through holistic, compassionate service that addresses both physical and spiritual needs.
Through mission-driven healthcare, missionary sending, leadership development, and mission mobilization, MeMA reaches communities with the Gospel while providing practical support that restores dignity and builds sustainable change.
Since its inception, MeMA has worked among marginalized communities, remote rural regions, and urban informal settlements, partnering with churches, institutions, and volunteers to transform lives and communities.
Our History
Medical Missions Africa began in 2008 when a group of Christian Union leaders from medical schools felt called to continue serving communities through their careers. After prayer and planning, they launched their first medical camp in Nairobi, serving 755 patients.
The organization was officially registered in 2010 as TEAMS and later renamed Medical Missions Africa (MeMA) in 2011. Over the years, MeMA has grown in structure and reach, moving offices and adapting through challenges such as COVID-19.
Through medical camps, training, and mobilizing healthcare workers for missions, MeMA has reached over 100,000 people across Kenya and other African nations. Membership has grown to over 200, with a continued vision to expand impact and transform lives.
