Mission
OUR MISSION: In the three countries, Nigeria, Chad, and Niger, where we work, is first to provide clean water wells to the poorest, poverty-stricken areas for people who have never had access to clean water before. Our mission is also to provide health care where possible for people who have no access to health care, with an emphasis on maternity care for women and children who are the most vulnerable in these areas. A school established in 2011 in Chad is currently providing an education to 1,400 students of all ages. Our primary goal is for everyone to know Christ as Savior. Our ministry is to the whole person, physically and spiritually.
Program accomplishments
- WATER DEVELOPMENT: In 2025, we drilled 55 wells in Nigeria and 20 hand-drilled wells in Niger that not only provided clean water for personal use but also for agricultural use, enabling these villages to grow a second crop during the dry season.Expenses $192,800 · revenue $191,583
- CLINIC AND OTHER OPERATIONS. Our clinic in Chad treats more than 2500 people per year. We have seen the mortality of babies in this area drop from 4 or 5 stillborn and other childhood-related deaths to less than 5 per year since adding a midwife. Our clinic in Niger treats close to 5,000 patients per year. We have just added a maternity center to this clinic because of the great need, and we expect to see similar results here as in our clinic in Chad. We have also seen the cases of malnutrition fall by 30% over the last 3 years due to the nutritional food provided in a 40-foot shipping container of foodExpenses $60,080 · revenue $141,310
