THE POWER OF STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS CORNERSTONE HEALTH FOUNDATION

For the past two and a half years, we have been forced to eliminate our intensive medical outreach missions and mobile clinics. At first, this was due to Covid restrictions and more recently, due to increasing security problems where most of our clinics are located. However, in spite of all of these challenges, we have partnered with Cornerstone Health Foundation to conduct smaller scale outreaches, both in urban and rural areas.

Yohana Iko

Cornerstone Health was founded by Yohana Iko, a high school science teacher in Kaduna. We first met Yohana when he volunteered on many of our summer outreach missions in Kaduna and Gusau. During the Covid lockdown of 2020, Yohana asked us to help him organize small medical outreaches in the poor urban neighborhoods of Kaduna. For each of these outreaches, Yohana recruits volunteer doctors, nurses and other medical workers to provide basic health care to the poor who cannot afford to go to a doctor’s office. We began supporting his efforts by donating funds for medicine for each outreach. Since then, we have increased our support for Cornerstone Health. And they have increased the number and scale of their outreach efforts. In addition to the urban outreach efforts, they have now expanded to several rural areas where the medical needs and poverty are even more pronounced than in the urban areas.
