Imagine being pregnant and feeling reluctant to visit a doctor for prenatal care due to barriers of distance, transportation, and cost. Then imagine having the same issues when you go into labor, so you just decide to give birth at home instead—in a small hut with no electricity or running water! It’s an issue we are working to address at our St. John’s Kayoro Health Center. As the capacity and geographic reach of the clinic has grown, our staff decided to add prenatal care to one of our “regular” rural health outreaches.

Give Us Wings Executive Director, Peter Carlson, recently returned from a week-long trip to Uganda where he met extensively with staff and community members. A priority was to better understand the impact our efforts are having in the Tororo district. To that end, he had a conversation with Winnie Akware, Health and Education Secretary for the district.

Construction has begun on the new water system for St. John’s Kayoro Health Center! The new well will save time and money at our clinic and will be an asset for the entire community.

An important part of our Economic Development program in Uganda is the training that we offer our partner co-ops and community groups.

For years, St. John’s Kayoro Health Center (SJKHC) has provided quality health care services to people living in rural eastern Uganda. But one thing was lacking: reliable and effective transportation in the case of emergencies.
