About Us
OCMM is a non-governmental organization and holistic mission dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of underprivileged individuals residing in rural, hard-to-access, and underserved communities in Nigeria and beyond. Our goal is to provide access to quality healthcare, essential services, and hope. We began in 1998 in the Odumehaje community, Benue State, Nigeria. Over the years, our program's scope and geographic reach have expanded to encompass all 39 states in Nigeria and the North West province of Sierra Leone in West Africa. This expansion has allowed us to offer a comprehensive range of humanitarian aid services, including preventive and curative healthcare, to more than 4000 people annually.
In the past 25 years, we have organized 48 free rural medical outreaches, provided medical consultations and treatment to over 100,000 individuals, conducted 2,500 free surgeries, and renovated 3 hospitals. These efforts have positively impacted over 500 communities in Nigeria and Sierra Leone. Our dedicated staff and volunteers' commitment to their work, combined with the high quality of services we provide, have positioned us as leaders in initiatives aimed at consistently meeting the needs of vulnerable and disadvantaged populations in the communities we serve. This has resulted in growing demand for our services from communities beyond our current reach and financial capacity.
Despite increasing demand, OCMM remains committed to strategically planning and leveraging our strengths to expand our capacity and fulfill our mission and vision effectively.

What We Do
OCMM, the acronym for our organization, signifies our core values and mission: Healthcare, Essential Services, and Hope.
Our organization prioritizes the provision of quality healthcare services to those in need. We work tirelessly to ensure that individuals and underserved communities have access to essential medical care, ranging from primary healthcare to specialized treatments, aiming to improve health outcomes and quality of life.
Beyond healthcare, we recognize the importance of other essential services in enhancing human well-being. This includes access to clean water, sanitation, education, food and other fundamental needs. We strive to address these areas to create sustainable improvements in the lives of the people we serve.
Central to our mission is instilling Hope in individuals and communities we serve. We do this through preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God, which involves sharing the message of salvation and redemption through Jesus Christ. This message offers individuals and communities a sense of purpose, belonging, and eternal hope. By helping people decide for Jesus Christ, we guide them toward a deeper relationship with God, which can provide comfort, strength, and resilience in the face of life’s challenges. This hope is not just a fleeting feeling, but a foundational belief that knowing God brings lasting joy and empowers individuals to thrive regardless of their circumstances. It’s about instilling a sense of faith and trust in God’s plan for their lives, which brings about transformation and fulfillment.
