Bridging Healthcare Gaps in Uganda's Poorest Region
We Heart All and local leaders in Uganda's impoverished Busoga Sub-Region band together to address the critical lack of accessible healthcare for children in need. The region faces severe poverty, with a significant percentage living on a dollar a day, resulting in a staggering child mortality rate. Malaria, HIV, and other diseases further exacerbate the healthcare challenges faced by the community.
We Heart All's initial focus is to provide resources for transporting emergent medical cases, but our ultimate goal is to establish a dedicated children's and women's hospital. This initiative has the potential to save lives and bring hope to the most vulnerable population in the region, creating a brighter future for them.
The Busoga Sub-Region in Uganda faces significant health challenges, with malaria as the leading cause of death, followed by HIV, diarrheal diseases, respiratory infections, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and parasitic infections.
​
We Heart All is committed to addressing these critical health issues through a multi-faceted approach. We are currently focused on providing monthly transportation for critically ill children in need of urgent medical care and spearheading a long-term capital project to build a hospital. This hospital, developed in phases, will offer comprehensive healthcare services to the region, ensuring greater access to essential medical care.
​
By collaborating with local leaders, We Heart All is addressing the pressing need for accessible medical care, especially for children. The nearest children's hospital is three hours away, and limited transportation options—primarily motorcycles—create significant barriers for families, particularly pregnant women and those with critically ill children.
​
The ultimate goal is to establish a dedicated children's and women's hospital, providing lifesaving medical services to thousands annually and alleviating the suffering caused by the lack of accessible healthcare. However, funding remains a critical challenge. Support from individuals, organizations, and governments is vital to making this vision a reality and saving lives.

This partnership between We Heart All and local leaders brings hope to vulnerable children and families, offering the possibility of a healthier and brighter future for the Busoga Sub-Region. With your support, this initiative has the potential to transform lives and create lasting impact.
