Africare, the oldest and largest African-American led non-profit committed to advancing development in Africa, hosted its annual Bishop John T. Walker Memorial Dinner and fundraiser on April 20, 2013 at the Hilton Washington Hotel in Washington, D.C.
The gala honored President Barack Obama for providing funds through his Nobel Peace Prize award to support the development of Africare’s Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Health (WASHH) Project in Ghana.
Africare also presented Dr. Mo Ibrahim, a renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist, with the 2013 Bishop John T. Walker Leadership Award for his work to improve leadership in Africa through the Mo Ibrahim Foundation.
Since 1970, Africare has provided over $1 billion of assistance and support through more than 2,500 projects in 36 countries in Africa.
