Donate for Clinic Medicine & Staff @ Uganda Clinic

One of the strengths of Outreach Uganda's work is how our programs support one another. Thanks to your generosity, our community clinic not only provides healthcare—it also helps our students learn and our women's groups thrive.

The clinic is located directly across the road from Agwata Primary School, making it easy for students to receive prompt medical care when needed. This is especially important for our youngest nursery students. If a teacher suspects that a child may have malaria or another illness, the child can quickly be taken to the clinic for evaluation and treatment. Malaria remains one of the leading causes of death among children under five in many parts of Africa. Because the clinic is so close to the school, children can receive care quickly when symptoms first appear—often making a critical difference in their recovery.

Healthy children are better able to attend school consistently, concentrate in class, and succeed academically. By helping students stay healthy, the clinic plays an important role in supporting educational outcomes throughout the school.

The clinic also benefits members of our Agwata Women's Group. Many of these hardworking women rely on farming to provide food for their families and income from cash crops. When illness strikes, they may be unable to plant, weed, or harvest their crops. Having affordable healthcare nearby helps them recover more quickly and return to supporting their families and participating in income-generating activities. The clinic is also close to where the women live so this encourages them to bring their babies for immunizations. The attached photo shows a typical immunization day at the Agwata clinic.

Over the years, supporters like you have helped us create a community where education, healthcare, and economic opportunity work hand in hand. Thank you for helping ensure that students can learn, women can work, and families can build healthier, more secure futures.

We are deeply grateful for your partnership and the difference you continue to make in Agwata.

Our head nurse, Winifred, pictured in the August photo from my visit to Agwata, sends her heartfelt thanks for your support of the clinic. Your donations help provide stipends for our three dedicated nurses and supply essential medicines—both critical to keeping the clinic operating.

The Agwata Clinic plays a vital role in helping the community thrive by:

• Keeping children healthy so they can attend school

• Supporting pregnant women and infants, helping reduce child and maternal deaths

• Helping adults stay healthy so they can farm, run small businesses, and support their families

The clinic is conveniently located directly across the road from the Agwata School, which serves 800 students from nursery through sixth grade—making access to care easier for families every day.

As we look ahead to 2026, this project will be a key focus as some previous district-level health funding is no longer available. The clinic remains a lifeline for the Agwata community, improving health, education, and economic stability for more than 5,000 people.

Thank you for making this life-saving work possible. Your generosity truly gives life.

With much gratitude,

Carol Davis,

President
