Amuka Twende Uganda

We are excited to report that our first medical clinic is completed, including a water well that provides fresh water for the clinic. We are now working on purchasing and supplying the clinic with medical equipment and supplies, ambulance and ultrasound machine.

Being located on the border of Uganda and Kenya, it will serve over 5,000 people who don’t have reliable access to medical care. The poor and vulnerable in this area can often die of highly treatable diseases such as malaria.

The clinic helps to meet the medical needs of the villagers in Busia and surrounding areas. Services offered include basic medicines, blood tests, and maternity services with services expanding as the clinic develops.  

The 4,000 sq. ft. medical facility meets the great challenges in the healthcare sector by addressing diseases like malaria, cholera, HIV, and dysentery that affect children and adults alike. It also offers pre-natal and post-natal care.
