Community Health Program
Northern Uganda has fewer than 800 health facilities.
More than 5,000 would be needed.
This number is not abstract. It is the difference between:
- A woman who receives cervical cancer screening vs one who dies from a late diagnosis
- A mother who gives birth with a midwife vs one who risks her life at home
- A teenager who receives contraception vs one who becomes a mother at 14
The challenges
Maternal Mortality
per 100,000 births (vs global average of 211)
HIV/AIDS
prevalence in Northern Uganda (vs 6% national average)
Mental Health
Widespread stigma prevents access to support.
public psychologists for 8 million people.
Consequences of Conflict
destroyed health infrastructure. Many rural areas still without access.
We cannot build 4,200 health facilities. But we can bring essential services directly to communities — through mobile clinics, training of local health workers, and mental health programs in schools.
We do not replace the public system.
We complement it. We reach those who fall through the cracks.

Maternal, child and gynaecological health
Through mobile clinics, we bring maternity care, paediatrics, gynaecology and obstetrics to the four districts of Northern Uganda. We reach women where they are, not where health facilities are not.
Sexual and reproductive rights
We work to ensure that every woman and every teenager has access to accurate information and quality contraceptive services. Making informed decisions about one’s own body and future is not a privilege — it is a right. Our trained staff understand this and communicate it with respect.
Prevention and community health
Awareness campaigns on HIV/AIDS and non-communicable diseases. Training of community health workers (CHWs) who become a reliable point of reference for families over time — reducing dependency on outside support and building local expertise.
Mental health — Thriving Through Play
A program dedicated to the emotional and mental well-being of children aged 6 to 12. It works in schools and communities, combining structured play with tools for emotional literacy. The core idea is simple: a child who is well learns. A child who learns has more possibilities.
