Mercy International Mission is based in Minnesota, and provides medical services to the people of Osi-Ekiti, Nigeria.
We have a clinic in Osi-Ekiti, which provides services year round. Our Mobile Clinic Vans are able to travel to surrounding villages to provide medical assistance. We also organize an Annual Medical Mission, in October 2015 this year, at which we are able to reach many more patients, and provide a larger variety of services, such as opthamology.
We provide education surrounding medical issues, such as using mosquito nets to prevent malaria.
Mercy International Mission strives to create community development, through micro-financing loans and scholarships. Once a year we host a Soccer Tournament to build community engagement, reach children, provide medical attention and encourage healthy lifestyles.
We are looking for volunteers who can assist us in making these missions more effective. Volunteers would assist with fundraising, finding sponsors, and grant research. We need financial support, but also people who are willing to donate medical supplies, soccer equipment, supplies for the mobile vans, etc. A volunteer can help us reach out to our community for more support.
