Another Year of Free Medical Outreach!

Words cannot express our gratitude to all of the Nigerian-based medical mission volunteers who tirelessly served hundreds of community members from remote villages as they provided a multitude of medical services ranging from eye checks, laboratory tests, doctor's screenings, distribution of eyeglasses, and up to three month's worth of essential prescriptions.

The dedication and compassion of our remarkable team — comprising a record number of 12 medical doctors, nine eye specialists, and a host of nurses, pharmacists, medical lab professionals, and public health experts — have brought immediate relief and sown seeds of hope and well-being in communities that need it the most. Their efforts enabled us to reach over 500 patients, distribute more than 300 pairs of eyeglasses directly to those in need, and donate approximately 250 pairs of glasses to local NGOs and eye clinics. This ensured that even more community members could access these critical services without cost.

To our supporters, your generosity and belief in our mission have been the backbone of this success. We extend our heartfelt thanks for your unwavering support and commitment to making a tangible difference. As we always say, 'We are changing lives one village at a time." Thank you for being an integral part of this transformative journey; we couldn't do it without you!

For those inspired by our work and looking to contribute, we warmly invite you to join our 2025 mission trip. Please register with the link below and mark your calendars for the volunteer interest meeting via Zoom on Saturday, May 18th, at 10 a.m.
