 Baby Chioma came to us at 3 months old and 5lbs 4oz. She was severely malnourished and in critical condition after she had been receiving mainly water and ground corn since birth. She was brought by her aunt when someone from her village told them about us. Baby Chioma’s mother had passed away a few hours after childbirth. Her aunt explained to us that her mother had regained consciousness just long enough to look over at her newborn daughter in her sister’s arms and name her “Chioma” meaning “God is good”. Those were her last words.

 

It is a miracle that baby Chioma survived as long as she did. We immediately came alongside her family with nutritional calories among other forms of support. We saw her on a daily basis initially, and eventually on a weekly basis as her family grew in confidence and ability to nourish their baby girl. 

 

Within the last 2 months, baby Chioma has more than doubled her weight. She is strong, alert, and full of life. We thank God for another opportunity to share His goodness and love with a family in crisis.

 

The truth, however, is that Chioma is one baby of many thousands of severely malnourished infants in Nigeria. 

 

More than ten new infants travel for miles to find us EVERY WEEK. 

We only take the most severe cases. 

We need your help.

Our Clinic Expansion Efforts

We are fundraising for a property of our own. We currently rent a small one-bedroom apartment where we operate our clinic. We hope to buy a space we can develop to not only serve our current clients, but to accommodate the growing number of severely malnourished infants that are finding their way to us. We estimate we will need $175,000 USD to buy and develop that space. We currently have raised $39,080.31 USD so far. Help us build this ministry a permanent home.

Did you know that 1 in 12 Nigerian infants won’t survive the first month of life? 

And that if they do, 1 in 5 of them will not survive to their 5th birthday?

 

There are many factors that contribute to this tragic reality but we know that starvation and malnutrition are among the main causes.

 

We believe God has equipped us to come alongside these communities and families with sustainable, life-saving, nutritional support. 

 

Just a few years ago, we started with just one severely malnourished infant and their mother. Since 2021, we have had over 420 infants and their families through our doors.

 

We offer lactation support, supplemental nutritional support, educational support, and emergency medical support. We ensure each child leaves our care healthier and more hopeful than when they entered.

As a team, we believe it is a great privilege of our lifetime to know, love, and serve these beautiful babies and their families. Truly, however, we could not support them if you weren’t supporting us. Thank you, for your care, concern, and partnership in this work. God is with us!
