The mission of Faith Alive USA, Inc. is to help transform the lives of the poor, vulnerable and sick in Nigeria, primarily by:
• Conducting educational outreach in the United States on the current health conditions in Nigeria and how support and action from people in the United States can make a difference.
• Providing monetary and in-kind support for programs that provide free, holistic health care and compassionate social services to the people of Nigeria.
• Working closely with Faith Alive Foundation, a non-governmental non-profit organization in Jos, Nigeria.
Because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we wanted to highlight the oncology work being done by Dr Mercy. In the past year, Dr Mercy has performed 17 cancer surgeries on women at the Faith Alive Hospital. You can see her at work in the picture. In Nigeria oncologists are scarce, and breast and cervical cancer go unscreened and undetected. The Hospital has new tools for screenings, and screened over 1100 women for cervical cancer last year.
