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.
Basic eye care in Nigeria is too expensive for most Nigerians and clinics are few and far between. Faith Alive's Eye Center is a notable exception - last year the center saw 3424 patients! The waiting area is nearly always crowded because there is such demand for even the basics such as glasses. Last year the Eye Center performed 410 eye surgeries, mostly related to cataracts, and many patients are seeing clearly for the first time in years.
