More than twenty years ago, Rosemary Jensen—the former executive director of Bible Study Fellowship—and three companions arrived in Africa for the first time. There they saw the horrible devastation caused by AIDS. Knowing that they had to do something about this pandemic, Jensen and her companions formed the Rafiki Foundation (rafiki is Swahili for “friend”).
“I have a heart for these people. Even when we are not here, my heart is in Africa. . . . God is concerned about the needs of the helpless.”—Rosemary Jensen
Beginning as a small group working out of Jensen’s home, the Rafiki Foundation has grown into a multinational organization striving to help the millions of people affected by AIDS across Africa. In this moving account of Jensen’s efforts, author Annie Thorp tells the story of Rafiki and the many lives it has touched.
A Heart for Africa is a story of hope against all odds.
