Respect
Global Care Alliance, formerly known as The Frances Kitchen Project, Inc., was founded in 2007 by Niles Sharif. Our very first project was to build a stand-alone kitchen at a severely impoverished school in the Mexican farming town of Colonet.
Providing relief in the form of food, housing, water, and medical care to the forgotten people of the poorest countries in our world, all as a way of giving thanks to Jesus Christ and evidencing our faith.
