Peter claver foundation Nigeria

OUR HISTORY

The Peter Claver foundation was established as a Registered Charity in the U.K. (Charity Number 1201365) in 2022.
Moved by the growing divide in healthcare between Nigeria’s affluent and underserved regions, we felt compelled to act — using our skills and resources from the global north to help bridge this concerning inequality.

UFOR HOSPITAL, UGHELLI, NIGERIA

Ufor Hospital is a private healthcare facility located at 19 Uloho Avenue in Ughelli, Delta State, Nigeria. Established in 1978 by the late Dr. Peter Claver Obakponovwe, the hospital has been a cornerstone of medical care in the region.

Strengthening Local Healthcare, Together

OUR APPROACH

Through our collaboration with Ufor hospital, Ughelli, the Peter Claver Foundation provides reliable medical equipment, medical training, and outreach services to the local community. Working hand in hand with an established hospital in this way means the Peter Claver Foundation can provide immediate impact, develop existing healthcare staff skills, and create sustainable change.

Empowering Health Care

Supporting local Nigerian Communities and Healthcare providers by:

  • Providing essential medical facilities and services to enhance patient care
  • Offering training and mentorship for hospital staff to improve healthcare delivery and practices.
  • Supplying medical equipment and resources not typically available through standard healthcare authorities.

OUR SUCCESS STORY

Since its inception in 2022, The Peter Claver Foundation has worked closely with Ufor Hospital to not only improve infrastructure and equipment but to empower the healthcare team through specialised training. In 2024, the Foundation sponsored a day Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) program, training medical personnel, including nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists.

Nurse Ejiro, who had never previously received formal trauma training, shared:
“Before the ATLS course, I was nervous during emergency cases. Now I know how to act fast and with confidence — I’ve already helped save a road traffic victim who was in shock.”
