Giving suppies to Africa?

Does anyone know of a charity where you can donate perfectly good in date supplies to Africa.

It's such a shame, most days I bring back loads of meds on my meds delivery to care homes, most are unopened and sealed but we have to put them in a special container which is sent for incineration including end of life meds like morphine. So many people in the world in pain or suffering and we have to throw it out by law not choice.
