About the Campaign
[UPDATE: As you can see, we have reached our fundraising goal for this important phase of our campaign. The next phase of development for the Maternity Ward will be announced soon. In the meantime, you can still contribute to the project on this page. All donations will continue being used to support Hospital needs. Thank you again for your generosity!]
In one community, a courageous doctor is trying to do the impossible: build a hospital in a land ravaged by war.
Dr. Ahmed Zakariah trained under American hero Dr. Tom Catena in the war-torn Nuba mountains of Sudan.
Dr. Ahmed Zakariah with his nurses
Persecution Project’s team met Dr. Ahmed in 2016-- the day after he was wounded by government planes bombing his location to try and stop his work.
Dr. Tom and Dr. Ahmed operate together.
During the peak malaria season, Dr. Ahmed treats between 60-100 patients per day in very difficult and inadequate conditions.
New beds assembled at the new Maternity Ward
A new hospital is a matter of life and death to thousands of Nuba living in an area the size of the US state of Georgia. We must help!
Dr. Ahmed's vision is for his hospital to include several patient wards, a proper lab, an operating theatre, and a doctor and nurse compound.
Maternity Ward, Construction Complete!
Our first priority was to help build the Maternity Ward. So many deaths in the Nuba are attributed to infant mortality and women perishing in labor.
Thanks to the generous help of you, our ministry partners, construction of the Maternity Ward has been completed!
Additionally, the purchase and delivery of hospital beds and mattresses, medical cabinets, and other important furnishings, including valueble lab and hospital equipment.
Your support keeps building and substaining this life-saving institution in a region many hours drive from the nearest hospital.
Please join this campaign today. You can also multiply your impact by setting up a personal fundraising page, and sharing your goal with family and friends.
