About us
Project Contact was founded in 1995 after former NBA star Kermit Washington took a trip to Rwanda, Africa with Northwest Medical Teams, an organization that brings medical relief to different nations of Africa. During his time there, he observed such a high rate of human suffering and such atrocious living conditions; he was inspired to try to make a change himself. Kermit decided to expand his then existing charity, The Sixth Man Foundation, a local (Oregon) charity that helps out the citizens of Portland, into something more global. Project Contact was born.
Since the beginning of Project Contact in 1995, Kermit has made 24 trips to Nairobi, Kenya. The doctors and nurses that volunteer to go with him each trip have been bringing medical relief to areas in which there is no running water or even electricity, let alone medical care. The teams consist of Kermit and volunteers consisting of doctors, nurses, homemakers and everyday citizens who take out two weeks of their lives to assist in this worthy cause.
