"Myom" is culled from Myom U Ter which means Salvation of the Lord. Myom Community Outreach exists to create awareness about health education, conduct community-based interventions, share the Gospel, and counsel people. Afa Ikparen founded Myom Community Outreach in December 2021 to help people live well by having access to quality healthcare after God healed her from an ovarian cyst and fibroids.

Afa also lost an aunt to cervical cancer as a result of a late diagnosis. It totally broke her heart to hear that an early diagnosis could have gone a long way in keeping her alive a little longer. It became a pain point for her, and she began to think of ways to help more people live well. That was how Myom Community Outreach was born.
