Help vs favour

Hi,

Can you explain to me the differences between "help" and "favour".

He helps his friends.

He does his friends favour.

By the way, I suppose that he is a generous man. Is the sentence below natural? Or can you suggest me a better sentence that best convey the ideal that he is generous?

He help his friends and he don't need they repay him.

Thanks in advance.
