Bring healthcare to 1,000+ Awake Uganda villagers

We've made tremendous progress in developing our maternity services over the past few months. In the past 2 weeks, we've delivered 10 babies. Due to the high birth rate and lack of suitable facilities in the area, demand for maternity services is extremely high.

Last week, we received a donation for $250 to support our enhanced maternity services. We were able to tell the donor that her donation will pay for at least 20 baby deliveries at our clinic! She responded that you can't get a few doses of Tylenol for that price in a US medical facility. 

The AUCF team is now focused on purchasing new equipment--ultrasound equipment, delivery beds, etc--to improve our range and quality of service. And in early 2018, we'll begin construction of a new maternity ward.

Thank you!

 The AUCF Team

Our founder, Julius Achon, recently traveled to the US and Australia. His goals were to raise awareness of the struggles in Northern Uganda, and to raise critical funds required for AUCF to expand our maternity services.

Our clinic in Uwake, Otuke District, Northern Uganda, has offered very basic maternity services for over three years. But we are in the process of expanding our services, in order to meet the growing needs of the community (the average family has 8 children!). In order to be an approved maternity facility, we are required to have a full-time mid-wife, separate delivery and maternity recovery facilities, and several new pieces of equipment (ultrasound, delivery table, etc). Our goal this summer is to raise $20K in order to have these services approved and operating by Fall.

A book was recently published about Julius Achon and our charity. It can be found here. 

Thank you for your ongoing support.
