Construction is underway on two Barnabas-funded health centers in Nigeria’s Kaduna State, where Christians are repeatedly subjected to Islamist attack.
The two centers, due to open at the end of this year, will provide emergency treatment to attack survivors, as well as general medical care for the sick, including antenatal and pediatric services.
They will serve Christian communities numbering more than 34,000 people.
The new Barnabas-funded health centers will give Christians in Kaduna State safer and faster access to healthcare.
Currently people have to travel long distances, often on foot, and at risk of attack, to access healthcare.
Each center will have a consultant doctor, nurses, and administrative staff.
“We see it as Divine providence for us to get this project,” said the head of a Christian village in Nigeria.
“We appreciate the support you have brought to us,” he added. “May God bless you and prosper this work.”
Barnabas is planning to fund more health centers in 2024.
Pray that construction work will progress smoothly and the health centers will open on schedule. Ask the Lord to protect the health centers, the staff, and patients from attack.
