Global Mission
Trinity Tariffville is involved in and supports many global mission activities. Learn more about some of them below.
Trinity began a partnership with the Anglican Diocese in Kaduna in 2002 through our friendship with the then Archishop of the Diocese of Kaduna, Josiah Idowu-Fearon. (Bishop Josiah is now Secretary General of the Anglican Communion).
The Kateri Vision is to provide simple decent medical care for poor Nigerians, both in rural and urban settings, who otherwise have no access to medical care. This organization currently works with the Anglican Diocese of Kaduna, Gusau and Kafanchan to build and run clinics. They also work in partnership with FaithCare, a faith-based non-profit based in Hartford, Connecticut, to conduct intensive medical missions every summer.
Since 2003, the organization has helped more than 200,000 people with medical care, with many at Trinity participating in raising and donating funds and traveling to Nigeria every summer to staff the clinics. Learn more here. Follow them on Facebook here.

Trinity supports Africa Education Partnership (AEP), a 501c3 nonprofit organization that has been working in
several dioceses in northern Nigeria since 2009 to provide quality education to poor and underserved
populations regardless of tribe, religion, or gender.
AEP provides safe, healthy learning environments for children:
Construction: AEP builds new or renovates existing structures. Every school project includes the provision of
a borehole for clean water, toilets, a security wall, desks, and educational equipment. AEP has contributed to
the improvement of 7 different schools.
Scholarships: For $300/year, a student’s education is fully funded, including school fees, books, uniforms, and
room and board. That figure also provides for routine maintenance of the facilities. Sponsors of students
receive an information card, progress reports, and opportunities to correspond. Over 100 students are
currently sponsored.
In addition, AEP has extended its reach into the broader communities through several initiatives:
Empowerment: Two centers have been established to train widows and those individuals marginalized
through societal circumstances in a variety of trade skills to gain economic independence.
Clean Water: AEP has begun funding portable chlorine generators which can sanitize existing large
containment tanks of water for community use. For individual home use, a sanitizing solution will be made
available. An integral part of this initiative is an informational component that will educate community members
about the importance of clean water and sanitation.
