Hospitals for Humanity began in 2006  when Segun Ajayi, our founder, was faced with an unpleasant hospital experience in his home country, Nigeria. He fell ill and was admitted in what was claimed to be the ‘best hospital in the area’. Unfortunately this hospital lacked even the most basic medical resources. Segun decided that the Nigerian healthcare story should not be one of lack and inefficiency and was determined to rewrite the story, and tell a better one.

After 5 years of planning and preparation, the seed of change had begun to grow. Things began to take shape and Hospitals for Humanity started its operations. In an environment like Nigeria, project logistics and implementation  was a hurdle, however HfH was hopeful for the best outcomes even in resource constrained situations.

With a lot of  fundraising and a continuous diligent search for well meaning organizations and individuals who are focused on health related issues and social impact in Africa and Nigeria particularly, we got as many people on board our vision.

Today, HfH’s success is hinged on a shared vision and effective collaboration among volunteers and various stakeholders who together believe that there is a need to ensure no child dies because of a deficient health care system. All this is possible with the support of individuals who understood the assignment and are just as passionate about the mission. We are very grateful for each one of them.

Through faith, determination and hardwork, Hospitals for Humanity is now saving and changing lives across underserved countries. With over 100 free pediatric cardiothoracic surgeries and more projects under our belt, we continue to display an unrelenting dedication to helping children. We are braced and ready to give our all to ensure that children get the best quality of life possible through all our interventions.
