Bring healthcare to 1,000+ Awake Uganda villagers

This month, our founder Julius Achon visited the US. It was a productive, fun and exhausting two weeks of speaking events, fun runs, dinners and more. But after 3 years of no visits, the visit has reengerized Julius, our team and our supporters.

Our focus now is to secure reliable electricy to the clinic and purchasing an ultrasound machine. The latter requires the former. 

Our current source of power is solar. While it is sustainable and relatively expensive, it is not reliable. The nearby community is bringing power lines closer to the clinic. But we need to invest to make the final connection to the clinic. 

Also, we are purchasing an ultrasound machine and the required training to support the growing need of the Otuke District of Northern Uganda. It's a large investment that requires dedicated staff to support. But the benefit to the families is so significant that it's worth the money. 

Thank you for your help to make this all possible!

While healthcare is our primary area of focus, we also work to support food security and employment opportunities for women in the community that we serve.

Cents for Seeds is a micro-finance project in northern Uganda. The land there is some of the most fertile in the world, but after years of war, most communities lacked the essential capital and know-how to make use of this land.

A $30 gift provides a 30kg (about 66 lbs.) seed loan to a woman, usually a mother, along with a gardening tool and training. She plants the seeds, and the harvest feeds her family, typically leaving enough to sell to others.

A portion of harvest is also returned to be given to another woman joining the project next year. And the cycle continues…
