Itâs easy to wonder why, with so much need right here in Buffalo, Jericho Road continues to do global work? It is so challenging, harder to get people invested in it, and harder to fund. We think there are millions of reasons why, so let us answer the question, âWhy do we help?â
Jericho Road has clinics in Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Nepal. Our Sierra Leone clinic in Kono became a reality when one woman had a vision, and Dr. Glick said, âYesâ. Phebian Abdulai is that woman!
Phebian was born in Sierra Leone, where her mother brought babies into the world as a midwife, often with almost nothing. Phebian knows firsthand what it means to survive on the edge. She fled a civil war, resettled in Buffalo as a refugee, and walked through our doors as a patient.
What she found here changed her.
She experienced care like never before. We saw her as a whole person, not just a chart, not just a case. And something was born in her that day, too: a vision. What if the women back home could have this? In 2009, she approached Dr. Glick with her dream: to bring that same standard of care to the women in the Kono District. Jericho provided the opportunity for her to return back home, to work, and give back to her community, where families survive on the equivalent of just one or two dollars a day. Today, this clinic has expanded to teach farming to help families sustain themselves, has fed thousands of children through our malnutrition clinic by providing food and education, and has empowered girls and women to not only survive but thrive. The entire staff is made up of locals and has provided hundreds of jobs.
Phebian is a bit of a âcelebrityâ in Sierra Leone and has achieved a "first" in global surgical access. Because of Phebian, our clinic performed the first-ever C-section in a district of 500,000 people, a milestone that even larger organizations had not achieved in the community before her.
Jericho Road is all about âloving our neighbor,â and for us, that neighbor does not have to be right next door. Support Phebianâs vision- link in comment. Just $10 can support a C-section and save a life.

WORLD HEALTH DAY⌠was yesterday. We got our days mixed up đ but really, every day is World Health Day as we care for our communities in the US and across the globe in Sierra Leone, the DRC, and Nepal.
A few months ago we sat down with Charles Franzèn from World Relief and learned about the effects of the dismantling of USAID programs across the world.
At Jericho Road we believe that a threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. And for those of us who identify as part of the Church, we have the clear command to love our neighbors and to be a prophetic voice that calls out injustice and does something about it. #usaid #globalhealth
Across the globe, Jericho Road clinics are run by the people who know their communities best. By training and employing local staff, weâre strengthening health systems and creating economic opportunity where itâs needed most.
