Dear friends and supporters, Life has become increasingly more difficult for the people of Nigeria in the past four years. The economy and unemployment are the worst in many years, kidnapping and general lawlessness have become an epidemic, and grinding poverty is getting worse for millions of people.

Many of our current donors began giving in May of 2003 and continue to this day. Many others have joined us since then.  Here is a young woman with her kids and husband who was saved from the edge of death in our facility.  This patient is a 32-year-old young man with a wife and two children who presented in shock with Typhoid intestinal perforation.  A young woman who was pregnant was rushed into the emergency room on account of prolonged labor. On examination, we discovered she had obstructed labor complicated by placenta Abruptio (premature detachment of the placenta) with severe fetal distress and imminent uterine rupture.  Serving More People Than Ever Before - The Impact of Your Donations Due to the impact of kidnapping and tribal violence, two of our clinics were forced to reduce their service to daylight hours. The doctors left for fear of being kidnapped and nurses have run the clinics. Another one of our rural clinics was forced to close for several months due to marauding gangs which forced the entire village to relocate to a refugee camp. Despite all of these obstacles, and many more, our clinics and outreach teams are helping more people than ever before. The “Big Picture” numbers tell part of the story. How our medical clinics save people’s lives and affect their families tell the “Up Close and Personal” story of the impact your donations make.  Dear Friends and Supporters, We are celebrating our 20th year. We began with one small clinic in May of 2003. Now we have eight. Despite many trials and challenges, especially in the last three years, we have continued to help more people every year. This past year (2022) we helped more people than ever before: 29,128. How did this happen? Three words sum it up: Prayer, Partnerships and Perseverance.  The idea of Kateri Medical Services began 20 years ago. In February of 2002, a team of three (John Hart, Jim Lawson and Rev. Tom Furrer) traveled to Nigeria at the invitation of Bishop Josiah Idowu-Fearon, who was then the Bishop of Kaduna.  |
