We want to thank all of our donors. Without your generous and consistent financial support, we would not be able to help all of these patients, in addition to the patients at our full-time clinics which operate year long.

MOTHERS UNION HEALTH OUTREACH - AUGUST 2024
The Mothers Union is a powerful force for good in every Anglican Diocese in Africa. This year, we partnered with the Mother’s Union of Kafanchan Diocese to conduct a health education and prevention program in four rural areas of the diocese. A MESSAGE FROM REV. TOM FURRER PRESIDENT & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Friends and Supporters, Since the beginning of our work 22 years ago, we have employed a hybrid approach to medical care for economically vulnerable people in Nigeria. First, medical volunteers conducted mobile clinics. Second, we have built and run full-time medical clinics to provide a more comprehensive level of care than is possible in mobile clinics. The Mothers Union is a powerful force for good in Anglican dioceses all over Africa. Later this year, we will be entering a new partnership with the Diocese of Kafanchan Diocese Mothers Union to conduct an anti-malaria campaign in four rural areas in the diocese.
As you can see from this newsletter, despite all of the serious challenges we are facing in
Nigeria, we are not giving up and we are not going away. Our work is made possible by the generous donations of our many supporters. Cornerstone Health Foundation was founded by Yohana Iko, one of our volunteers at our clinic
based medical outreaches. Nigeria is facing its worst economic crisis in decades, with skyrocketing inflation, a national currency in free-fall and millions of people struggling to buy food. Only two years ago Africa’s biggest economy, Nigeria, was projected to drop to fourth place this year. The pain is widespread. - New York Times, June 11, 2024 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & EXECUTIVE DIRECTORDear Friends and Supporters,
If you have been reading our newsletters over the past couple of years, the quote from the New York Times won’t come as a surprise. I have been traveling to Nigeria for the past 22 years and conditions are worse than I have ever seen them. The phrase I keep hearing from my friends who live there is: “People are hungry.” We will be partnering with the FaithCare surgical team to do an intensive medical outreach from
our St. Thomas Clinic in Port Harcourt in August. |
