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.
In Nigeria the infant mortality rate is 72 per thousand live births, which is the fourth highest in the world. The global average is 27 and for comparison, the US is 5. This disturbing difference can be attributed to the lack of prenatal and post natal care available in the country. To address this great need, the Faith Alive Hospital in Jos, Nigeria, provided over 4800 free maternity patient visits last year and delivered 824 babies.
It is always amazing to see the number of patients that come to Faith Alive. Behind each one of these is a live served. Total Patient Visits 31,972 Patient Visits Related to HIV/AIDS 11,765 Patients A
