3 HER VISION OUR MISSION PHEBIAN ABDULAI WAS BORN IN SIERRA LEONE, THE DAUGHTER OF A KONO DISTRICT MIDWIFE A DECADE-LONG CIVIL WAR ERUPTED IN SIERRA LEONE. PHEBIAN AND HER FAMILY FLED TO THE NEIGHBORING COUNTRY OF GAMBIA, WHERE THEY LIVED IN A REFUGEE CAMP PHEBIAN AND HER FAMILY WERE ABLE TO SAFELY RESETTLE IN BUFFALO. FIRST A PATIENT, PHEBIAN EVENTUALLY BECAME A NURSE AT JERICHO ROAD COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER WHERE SHE WORKED MANY YEARS. PHEBIAN GRADUALLY SENSED GOD CALLING HER BACK TO SIERRA LEONE TO PROVIDE QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR HER PEOPLE. THE WAR HAD DECIMATED HER ALREADY UNDER-RESOURCED NATION, AND SHE KNEW THE GROWING NEEDS WERE PROFOUND.

4 HER VISION OUR MISSION CON T EXPLORATION TRIP 2009, A TEAM OF JERICHO ROAD HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, LED BY PHEBIAN ABDULAI, TRAVELED TO KONO DISTRICT, SIERRA LEONE TO BEGIN LAYING THE GROUNDWORK FOR OUR FIRST GLOBAL OUTREACH CLINIC.

9 THEIR VISION OUR MISSION GOMA, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO THE HISTORY OF DRC IS COMPLEX, FILLED WITH WARFARE, ECONOMIC INSTABILITY, AND CORRUPTION. MANY OF THE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN BORN INTO VIOLENCE AND DO NOT KNOW THEIR PARENTS, OTHERS FLEE THEIR COMMUNITIES AND REMAIN INTERNALLY DISPLACED. JERICHO ROAD RECOGNIZES WHAT A CONCERNING STRESSOR THIS HAS BEEN ON THE CONGOLESE, AND IS CONFIDENT THAT PROVIDING QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR THE UNDERSERVED IN GOMA IS A CRITICAL STEP TOWARDS IMPROVING THIS COMMUNITY.

10 WHY GOMA? THEIR VISION, OUR MISSION EXPLORATION TRIP ONE OF THE REALITIES OF THE CONGOLESE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS THAT, WHILE THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF EDUCATED DOCTORS, NURSES, AND ADMINISTRATORS, THERE IS NO SAFETY NET FOR THE POOR. EVERYONE, INCLUDING CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN, NEEDS TO PAY IN ORDER TO RECEIVE CARE. THE SYSTEM LEAVES THE POOREST OF THE POOR WITH LITTLE TO NO ACCESS TO NEEDED MEDICAL SERVICES. IT IS FOR THESE PEOPLE THAT THE WELLNESS CLINIC WAS ESTABLISHED.

11 THEIR VISION, OUR MISSION THE BIRTH OF A CLINIC Jericho Road s Wellness Clinic in Goma opened its doors in December It is located on the property of New Hope Center for Grieving Children- a facility for traumatized, grieving and orphaned children (as well as widowed mothers and their children).
