Safe City clinic in Oworoshoki reaches 6,268 people in first year
Posted 15 Dec 2025
In just one year, Safe City has helped 6,268 people, around 2,000 more than our original target.
On 30 November 2024, Safe City opened its doors to the Oworoshoki community, offering free healthcare to people who were suffering and earning so little, they couldn’t afford care. Since then, we’ve welcomed patients of all ages, from one-year-olds to 89-year-olds. We’ve supported mothers and fathers with multiple children earning just $20/month or less, and thousands of children who made up over 30% of patients each month.
In November alone, we treated 595 people. Of these, 30% were new patients, 95% had no insurance, and visitors came from eight different communities. One patient travelled over 23km, almost an hour in Lagos traffic, to reach us. Even after a full year, Safe City continues to reach new neighbours, near and far, showing just how urgent the need for care remains.
