Welcome to ACIF, the American Christian International Founda

ACIF

The  American  Christian  International  Foundation  (ACIF),  a  long  standing foundation  has  now  been  re-launched  to  fo us on  new  projects,  many  related  to  education  including  medicine and  forensic  science.    Many  of  the  former  ACIF  programs  have  now  been  transitioned  to  AHAF-USA.

Mater Misericordiae University

Claretian Missionaries

The Claretians are a community of  Roman  Catholic  priests and brothers, founded in 1849.    They are active as  missionaries  worldwide, in more than 65 countries on five continents.    They  have  had  a  long  standing  presence  in  Africa,  including  a  significant  connection  to  IgboLand  in  southeast  Nigeria.    One  of  our   ACIF/AHAF  (Nigeria)  Foundation  Vice  Presidents,  Rev  Fr.  Dr.  Wence  Madu,  is  a  Claretian,  previously  Superior  General  of  the  Order.

Mater Misericordiae University

The  lead  program  for  ACIF  is  supporting  the  creation  of  a  new  University  in  IgboLand,  Mater  Misericordiae   University.    ACIF’s  Fr. Wence  Madu  and  Dr.Matthias  Okoye  are  bringing  this  program  to  life.  The  Claretian  Fathers/Brothers  are  working  with  the  Archdiocese  of  Owerri  in  Imo  State  to  convert  a  number  of  existing  Claretian  buildings  into  a  medical  school/university  complex.    The  Archdiocese   has long desired having a Catholic University in the region.

Mater Misericordiae Medical School/Hospital

The  team  Claretian/ACIF  team  has  secured  a  hospital  building  now  from  a  hospital  program  that  was  previously  being  pursued.    

About the Hospital Facility and surrounding site

The Hospital Building sits on a plot of land in Nekede, Imo State. The drawing above speaks to the end vision.

The super structure and much of the inside has now been completed.  The next step is to incorporate the required utilities and medical facility requirements To make the hospital operational.

A view of the front of the Hospital Building

The Hospital is approximately 1000 square Meters.

Pursuing Possibilities

Our Vision for Eye Care and Corrective Lenses

Eye Care will be one of the primary Hospital deliverables, given the high need in the region.    We  hope  to  create a  corrective  lense and  frame  assembly  manufacturing  capability   within  the  Hospital  Building.    Our Med-aCar  program  has  proven the  benefit having already provided eye checkups and corrective lenses where necessary to over a 1000 children and adults.    Only a fraction of the population  wear  corrective  lenses  despite the  fact  that 15  Million  people  in  IgboLand  are  estimated  to  require  them.
