1: friendship in action.
Our mission is to improve health outcomes for underserved families in Uganda by providing medical care and supplies, fostering recovery through nutrition, and building local capacity for sustainable growth.
At the heart of our mission is a simple yet powerful commitment: to bring essential medical care and supplies to the families in Uganda who need it most. We believe that access to healthcare is a fundamental right, not a privilege, and we’re dedicated to making that a reality for communities in Southwestern Uganda.
Without nutritional support, recovery from illness is extremely challenging. Our team delivers food and nutrition free of charge to support the long-term recovery of under-served patients. Our locally sourced and staffed kitchen currently supports three meals per day for one hundred patients per month.
We believe sustainable change is only achieved by increasing the number of skilled healthcare providers in Uganda. Through focused training and education initiatives, we’re nurturing a new generation of local medical professionals, expanding access to quality healthcare for communities in need.
We provide a range of essential medical supplies including over-the-counter medications, first aid kits, and specific treatments for prevalent conditions in Uganda. Our aim is to address the most urgent health needs of the communities we serve.
We work closely with nutritionists and local healthcare providers to deliver nutritious food for patient needs. This ensures that patients and their families receive balanced diets essential for recovery and long-term health.
