Health

To transform communities, health issues must be addressed. Our team educates communities about the common diseases rampant in Uganda, teaching about nutrition and hygiene and providing testing for Malaria, Typhoid and HIV as well as addressing depression which has become all too common especially among the youth since the covid pandemic. Regular assessments for malnourishment are also being carried out in the Karamoja villages where we are currently working. There has been a devastating cycle of malnutrition hence an urgent need to break this cycle through targeted nutrition interventions. Through our support, the villagers are supplementing their diets with vegetables from FAITH (Food Always In The Home) Gardens and Plump’yNut for the malnourished. We aim to keep the adults and children healthy and strong enough to work in the gardens, attend school, and build long-term sustainable solutions.
