Our Mission
Answer Africa is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit humanitarian organization founded in 2006 with a commitment to provide Africa with critical health interventions and dedicated to the eradication of Malaria.
Answer Africa was co-founded by the late Dr. Makena Marangu and her husband, Craig Elliott Hacche. Makena Marangu, M.D., a Kenyan by birth, was a tireless Philanthropist whose efforts have healed and saved thousands of lives in her native country.
Answer Africa is now partnering with the non-profit organization, Hearts Afire, to build a maternity wing at the Hearts Afire Mountain Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya, in honor and remembrance of Dr. Makena Marangu, Craig’s beautiful wife.
The Makena Marangu Memorial Maternity Center will provide state-of-the-art care and facilities to the people and families in the surrounding areas of Eldoret, Kenya, an area of approximately 10 million people. Our commitment is that this Maternity Center will continue to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Makena Marangu.
“Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”
~ John Wesley
