Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that can cause severe pain, anemia, infections, and other serious health complications. For children like Morren, Stephen, and Kennedy, it can affect everyday life in painful and unpredictable ways.

But through Ourganda’s Sickle Cell Test and Treatment Clinic, they are receiving care, support, and hope for healthier, stronger futures.

Today, the clinic is treating 30 patients, and with continued support, that number can grow.

This is why the work matters. This is who it’s for.

Follow along to see how we’re helping create real change in rural Uganda communities.

Water is something many of us use every day without thinking twice.

For Ana and Hayley, students from Southern Adventist University who completed a mission year with Ourganda, the experience opened their eyes to what life can look like without steady access to water, electricity, and the comforts they were used to.

Bucket showers, tank water, bugs, and culture shock are just a few of the ways their mission year challenged them in ways they didn’t expect.

But serving in rural Uganda also gave these young women in the medical field a deeper appreciation for the things that are easy to take for granted in the United States, and a clearer understanding of the daily realities many communities face.

One act of violence changed this baby's life forever.

Just one week after he was born, Sunday became an orphan. His grandmother, Janifer, stepped in as his caregiver, becoming the only mother figure he knows.

But Janifer is facing this responsibility with physical limitations, economic hardship, and the deep trauma left behind by domestic violence.

This happened just before Ourganda’s prevention program expanded into their village.

And this is exactly the kind of tragedy our community-based domestic violence prevention and response programs are now working to stop in remote Ugandan villages.

Your support can help provide mobility support for Janifer, education for Sunday, and continued funding for domestic violence prevention and response programs that help stop these tragedies before they happen.

$200 helps provide a specialized wheelchair.

$90 covers nursery school fees for Sunday for an entire year.

Any amount helps us protect families and break cycles of violence.

Together, we can help change a child’s story.

What happens when the nearest hospital is 3 hours away… and labor starts now?

In remote Ugandan villages, access can change everything.
For many mothers and families, the challenge is not just medical care itself. It is distance to the hospitals, the transportation, sterile medical supplies, and whether help can be reached quickly enough when it matters most.

That is why maternal health in rural Uganda has to include more than emergency response. It has to include practical access, safe birth supplies, prevention-based care, and support that can reach remote communities before the moment becomes even more urgent.

Follow to see what this work looks like on the ground in the villages Ourganda serves.

A mother should not have to give birth without sterile supplies.

In some remote Ugandan villages, access to basic medical supplies is not always guaranteed, and during childbirth, that matters.
Sterile gloves, clean cutting tools, cord ties, and basic sanitation materials may seem simple, but they can help reduce the risk of infection for both mother and baby during one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

This is why maternal health in rural Uganda is not just about hospitals. It is also about access, preparation, safe birth supplies, and care that can reach remote communities before a crisis becomes even more dangerous.

At Ourganda, the work is focused on practical support for remote Ugandan villages, including medical access, prevention-based care, and resources that help protect mothers, children, and families on the ground.

Something this basic should not determine whether a birth is safe.
Save this to understand why access matters, and follow to see how Ourganda is working to address real needs in remote communities.

Many have reached out with questions after seeing headlines about the Bundibugyo Ebola virus outbreak in Central Africa.

We want to share information and reassure our supporters:

- The current Ebola outbreak is centered in Ituri Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)

- Ituri Province is approximately 300 km from Bundibugyo District, Uganda

- Ourganda’s team reports there have been no reported Ebola cases in or near Bundibugyo District, where we serve.

Our staff, medical workers, and the communities we serve remain safe at this time. Our team is vigilant, informed, and taking every precaution to help protect the men, women, and children in our villages.

Please continue praying for everyone directly affected by the Ebola outbreak, for grieving families, and for the healthcare professionals working tirelessly to contain the virus.

Thank you for caring about Ourganda, Bundibugyo District, and the people we serve.
