Dear Friends,

Association Saint-Camille (ASC) has broken ground in Badagry, Lagos State, Nigeria!  This has been a long-term dream of its founder, Grégoire Ahongbonon.  Nigeria will be ASC’s first operation in an English-speaking country.  Ninety-seven patients from Nigeria were treated in Benin by ASC in 2024.   There is sufficient need to construct a new treatment center, which will provide services for mental health, substance use disorders, and comprehensive medical needs.  This video shows the construction with mud bricks.  Thank you for your support of ASC’s endless quest to provide for those individuals in need. Please contact us for further information.

 

Dear Friends,  Three pallets, weighing 2000 lbs, of donated medical supplies were hand-sorted in Eugene, Oregon and are now ready for shipment to Benin, West Africa.  Association Saint Camille treats general medical and psychiatric patients and our health partners are waiting to receive these needed items.  We have been quoted $3100 for shipping costs and our funds are very close to this goal.  Any amount that you can donate helps!  Thank you.
