We take great care to spend your money wisely to have a maximum impact of the people we serve. No one on our US team receives a salary. We are all volunteers. Our offices are in our homes. We pay no rent. When we travel to Nigeria, we pay our own expenses. Our administrative and fundraising costs are very low — about 5% of our budget. Thus, 95% of every donated dollar goes directly to build, equip and run clinics and to pay indigenous medical staff.  Dear Friends and Supporters, The last two years have been a challenge for Kateri Medical Services and our ix partner clinics on many levels. In addition to the ravages of COVID, our clinics have also faced increased poverty, hunger, banditry, kidnapping, violent clashes between cattle herders and farmers, and a rapid increase in the number of homeless internal refugees.  Double your impact. All donations (including online contributions) received by December 31, 2021 up to a total of $50,000 will be doubled by a matching grant from one of our generous donors.

What Difference Does Affordable Medical Care Make? One Family’s Story… Here is a story of the effects of the pandemic on the economic prospects of people who were living on the margins before the crisis. Many people must choose between buying food and going to a doctor. They cannot afford both. This is the story of the people we serve. It could be retold 10,000 times with different names and faces and medical details. This is the difference your donations make.  The Rev. Dr. Olaniyi Olaobaju (center) with the Rev. Tom Furrer and Dr. Olaobaju’s staff at St. Thomas Clinic. Dear Friends and Supporters, Thank you for all of your support for the work of Kateri Medical Services over the past years. Because of COVID restrictions, we have not been able to hold our traditional summer concert series with Tapestry Singers as we have done for many years. However, we are trying something new this fall. Two local musical groups offered their services to help us this year. We had originally planned to hold the concert indoors, but the resurgent COVID numbers prevented this. So, we decided to hold the concert outdoors.  |
