Restore sight to 200 villagers in rural Nigeria

We are delighted to report back on our successful annual Medical Outreach event held on 8th and 9th January 2026.

As in previous years, about 600 people attended over the 2 days and received free health advice, medical consultations, and medications relevant to their presenting problems and conditions.

Thirteen people received cataract operations, and this time we were able to operate on site. This is a significant achievement. We want to build on this and work towards providing other minor operations (e.g. hernia repairs, excision of uncomplicated lesions, joint injections, abscess drainage, sutures, etc).

We issued more small interest free loans and increased the number of people receiving free monthly reviews and medications for blood pressure.

We have carried out an assessment of our charity work and the impact we have made so far. The evidence is of huge positive impact on beneficiaries’ health and wellbeing:

  • 2-day Annual Medical Outreach – about 3,600 people attended in 6 years since 2017 (excluding 2020 & 2021 due to COVID-19 pandemic, and 2024 due to family circumstances). On average, about 500-600 people attended over the 2 days.
  • 2-day Eye Screening Session in 2021 – 327 people attended.
  • Cataract Operations – 35 people operated, 1 on both eyes.
  • Monthly Medication Maintenance Programme – about 100 attend on a regular basis.
  • Small Interest-Free Loans – 100 people have benefited.

We thank you so much for your kind and generous support in making this happen.

With your support, we will continue to offer a helping hand to the less privileged and downtrodden in local communities in Nigeria.
