Disease

Just like many third world countries Uganda does not have a history of being very big on prevention when it comes to disease. Many times a kid’s first visit to the doctors’ office is when they are very sick. When kids first come to the orphan home, they come with many sicknesses especially sores on their entire body. Many of the diseases are curable and after awhile with the great care of our medical teams, they are soon happy and healthy.

Every year would like to invite a team of medical doctors to come and check the children and bring medications. It is amazing how healthy the kids get after being at the home for awhile. We do medical checkups on them, identify those with diseases and help them right away.
