Our Annual Impact Report
By David Fee | Director of Operations
The Achon Uganda Children's Fund has published our first Impact Report. It's a great review of all of the work we do in Northern Uganda, from health to access to clean water to promoting health and exercise in our community.
Our most recent accomplishment is the purchase, installation and staffing of an incubator. This will allow us to greatly expand one of our primary missions: to provide the people of Otuke District of Northern Uganda with access to safe natal services. It took a lot of time, money, and dedicated staffing, but we made it happen with your help.
Thank you for all of your support to make this work--and report--possible!

Supporting Cents for Seeds

Cents for Seeds, at work in the community
In addition to providing effective and low-cost healthcare to the people of Otuke District in Northern Uganda, we also work with our partners at Love Mercy to support the Cents for Seeds progam.
Participating in Cents for Seeds doesn't just mean receiving a seed loan. It also means receiving financial education to help manage income from their harvest.
Participants join a "Village Savings and Loans Association" (VSLA), a community-based group that provides support and counsel, as well as official training from Love Mercy staff about how to save, earn interest, and in some cases, borrow money.
By participating in VSLA, women have reported:
• Feeling more secure with access to savings and assistance when needed
• Gaining a sense of empowerment to make their own financial decisions
• Feeling supported and a real part of their community
VSLA is one more step on the path to our vision of seeing communities in northern Uganda thriving independently. Your support of AUCF makes this possible!

A fruitful visit to Uganda
By David Fee | Director of Operations

Our recent visit to Kristina Health Centre illustrated what we already knew from the monthly reports that our Clinic Manager submits: KHC is providing high-quality, vital services to a fast-growing number of Northern Ugandans.
Free vaccinations, clean and safe labor and delivery, skilled treatment of malaria and other conditions, and a generally professional approach to serving patients have turned KHC into the region's model institution. As the staff there now describes it, KHC is "humming." (We taught them the term.)
Your donations are making a significant impact on the lives of community members who otherwise would lack any form of healthcare, let alone high-quality service — not to mention the dedicated staff members who told us that KHC has become a place of personal and professional pride.
