Impact we count, name and show.
Our programmes are grounded in real clinical and community data, and built around indicators that can be counted, named and shown. These are the targets we can be held to.
We are not measuring from a standing start
Cigari's targets are not aspirational. They are the numbers an operating ecosystem — clinical service, training capacity and funded delivery — is equipped to reach.
Free Surgical Outreach
A structured path from community registration to recovery, delivered with qualified medical professionals and community leaders.
Beneficiaries by stage
Registered → screened → operated
Commitments
Quality assurance, at every stage
| Objective | Indicator / Target |
|---|---|
| Community awareness and registration | 500+ potential beneficiaries |
| Medical / surgical screening | 300+ persons |
| Investigations and pre-operative assessment | As clinically indicated |
| Surgical procedures | 100–150 eligible beneficiaries |
| Post-operative follow-up | 100% of operated patients |
| Referral of complex cases | 100% of cases requiring higher-level care |
Final targets may be adjusted following preliminary screening, available surgical capacity and approved funding.
Empowerment & Livelihoods
A rare kind of return: visible, human and lasting. A woman trained and earning is a household lifted, a child kept in school and a community made measurably more stable.

Where this work reaches
Programmes are anchored in Kumo and surrounding communities across Gombe State, with beneficiaries identified through trusted community and traditional leadership channels.
Kumo
The primary catchment for the Free Surgical Outreach Programme — community mobilisation, screening and surgery.

Measurement you can audit
Transparent reporting
Financial and narrative reporting on agreed indicators — registration, screening, procedures, outcomes, expenditure and lessons learned.
Independent monitoring
An independent or designated monitoring mechanism may be established to document beneficiaries and services provided.
Confidentiality & consent
Informed consent, safe practice and strict confidentiality of patient information are central to how we work.
Our objectives map directly onto the global goals the world already funds.
This alignment means a gift to Cigari is legible to international funders, CSR teams and development agencies on their own terms.
