Who We Are

We're a 501(c)(3) public charity, not-for-profit and non-governmental organization. We provide essential healthcare to those in need and most vulnerable. We're founded, formed and funded by individuals, churches and organizations, who believe (Article 25 of the United Nations' 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights) that healthcare equity is a fundamental human right for everyone.

The purpose of the foundation is to provide free healthcare services and wellness programs to the poor and less privileged, who have no access to primary healthcare services. We provide healthcare free of charge because we believe that everyone deserves the healthcare that they need and healthcare is a human right for every adult and every child, and not a privilege for a few individuals. When we say every adult and every child, we mean everyone, no matter their religion, gender, ethnicity, socio-economic status, or political affiliation.

Most of the people we serve are poor. A lot suffer from several tropical and other diseases, and malnutrition. Majority have no access to healthcare and/or good education because of the high cost of healthcare and education. Some of the children are homeless and subject to a wide range of abuses. Instead of attending school, many spend their days hawking items on city streets in efforts to contribute to their family’s meager income. Some of the children are robbed of their childhood, and from the opportunities to realize their full potential in life.

There are many unhealthy circumstances that contribute to poverty of the people we serve; and expose their children to dangerous living conditions and perpetuate the devastating cycles of poverty. These conditions inhibit healthy childhood development and constrain children’s future economic prospects. The adults we serve are not better off: with poverty, poor medical conditions, HIV/AIDS, hypertension, diabetes, tuberculosis, respiratory diseases, and other tropical endemic diseases, such as malaria and skin diseases.

We do our free medical mission programs mainly in Imo State in the southeastern part of Nigeria in West Africa. Nigeria is one of the wealthiest countries (if not the wealthiest country) in sub-Saharan Africa; yet there is poverty everywhere. Many adults and children have no access to primary healthcare services that they need.

An important aspect of our free medical mission programs is the rapid testing, counseling and distribution of medications for HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B and C, and other sexually transmitted diseases. We also raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, and other diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, diabetes, hypertension, respiratory and other tropical diseases. 

Our work requires a collective effort. We work in collaboration with local medical professionals: doctors, pharmacists, nurses, as well as other caring volunteers. Working alongside our local partners, we work to implement disease prevention programs, conduct screenings, distribute medicines, as well as continuing healthcare services after our free medical mission program trips are over; and to strengthen the healthcare system of the communities we serve. 

We hope you'll consider joining and/or supporting us on our free medical mission programs to make a difference in the lives of so many people.

Together, we can save lives, give and restore hope, and make a difference in the world!
