St. Elizabeth General Hospital Shisong is located in the Northwest Province, an Anglophone zone. The population of Kumbo, the nearest large town, is approximately 100,000. The mountainous location is nearly 1 mile above sea level, permitting improved health and less malaria than proximal lowland areas. Located far inland, the region has had limited colonial influence and retains strength of tradition.

In June 2007 we launched our "Water Project" for Oyofo Village, Nigeria. Please read below for some information and see the photos plotting the building of the water tower. We are almost finished... Thank you so much for your continued generosity. Please see in the photosection a letter from the local authorities in Nigeria. God bless - Fr John

Feb 2010 update  - Salvatori and Ngosi recently visited the project and brought back some photos. Here you can see and appreciate the size of the water tower,a nd the scale of the work completed.

 

 

 

Water – fresh drinking water, that we take for granted, is a luxury for many in the word. It is a precious resource for rural Nigerians.
