- To create an appreciation within the Roanoke Valley for the importance of cultural diversity through education programs
- To establish and maintain international partnerships for self-empowerment that address health and economic issues.

The Binaba Hospital is a 24-bed Binaba Hospital with a full-time physician, more than 30 staff members, and a small maternity ward. Kimoyo, LTD. is now establishing a hospital in the Upper East Region. Kimoyo also offers educational programs in cultural diversity.
