91 Babies Born at the Agwata Clinic in 2025

By Carol Davis | President

Wow! 91 babies were born at the Agwata Clinic in 2025! That’s a lot of babies—and we are so thankful that their deliveries went well.

We are also grateful for the three new patient beds provided by a local district councilor after she learned how many deliveries our clinic was handling. Before these beds arrived, the maternity hut had only two older-style beds that were more difficult to keep clean. I was especially happy to find a quiet day when we could take a few photos of the new beds without interrupting a delivery!

Your donations help make this care possible every day by contributing toward the stipends of our three nurses and providing essential medicines and supplies. And the local community and district continue to step up when they can, providing things like these beds and helping with immunization days.

It truly is a joint effort—and the women of Agwata are benefiting. Before our clinic opened in 2013, expectant mothers had to walk 17 kilometers to the nearest health center to give birth.

Thank you for helping make safe, local healthcare possible for mothers and babies in this remote community. We are deeply grateful for your support of this life-giving work.

With gratitude,

Carol Davis, President

Agwata Nurses Bring Healthcare Beyond Clinic Walls

This week, our Agwata clinic nurses packed up their testing supplies and headed beyond the clinic walls to bring healthcare directly to the people in outlying villages within the area served by the clinic.

According to Nurse Macrena, the goal is to reach those who might be hesitant—or unable—to visit the clinic. Equally important, they trained community members on important health topics like malaria prevention and how to overcome disease. By bringing services into the community, more families can receive care close to home and learn about clinic services.

At these outreach locations, the nurses provide malaria testing, HIV testing, deworming medicine for children, and other basic health services. It's one more way your support is helping make healthcare accessible to families living in this rural area.

Our small rural clinic is a busy place. During 2025, more than 6,100 patients received care, and 91 mothers safely delivered their babies with the help of our clinic staff and the adjacent maternity hut. The clinic is staffed by two nurses and a nursing assistant whose work is made possible through your generous donations.

Malaria remains one of the leading causes of death among children under age five in many parts of Africa. Early testing and prompt treatment save lives, and because of your kindness and compassion, families in the Agwata area have access to both.

Keeping our clinic shelves stocked with malaria tests and medicines is one of our greatest ongoing needs. If you know others that would like to help provide lifesaving care to families in Agwata, we'd be deeply grateful if you shared this report with them!

Thanks again for your generosity in supporting this project!

With gratitude,

Carol Davis,

Your Support of the Agwata Clinic Helps the Entire Community Thrive

By Carol Davis | President

Clinic Immunization Days Help Babies Stay Healthy

One of the strengths of Outreach Uganda's work is how our programs support one another. Thanks to your generosity, our community clinic not only provides healthcare—it also helps our students learn and our women's groups thrive.

The clinic is located directly across the road from Agwata Primary School, making it easy for students to receive prompt medical care when needed. This is especially important for our youngest nursery students. If a teacher suspects that a child may have malaria or another illness, the child can quickly be taken to the clinic for evaluation and treatment. Malaria remains one of the leading causes of death among children under five in many parts of Africa. Because the clinic is so close to the school, children can receive care quickly when symptoms first appear—often making a critical difference in their recovery.

Healthy children are better able to attend school consistently, concentrate in class, and succeed academically. By helping students stay healthy, the clinic plays an important role in supporting educational outcomes throughout the school.

The clinic also benefits members of our Agwata Women's Group. Many of these hardworking women rely on farming to provide food for their families and income from cash crops. When illness strikes, they may be unable to plant, weed, or harvest their crops. Having affordable healthcare nearby helps them recover more quickly and return to supporting their families and participating in income-generating activities. The clinic is also close to where the women live so this encourages them to bring their babies for immunizations. The attached photo shows a typical immunization day at the Agwata clinic.

Over the years, supporters like you have helped us create a community where education, healthcare, and economic opportunity work hand in hand. Thank you for helping ensure that students can learn, women can work, and families can build healthier, more secure futures.

We are deeply grateful for your partnership and the difference you continue to make in Agwata.

Can we ask a favor? Could you share this report with a friend, co-worker or family member to see if they might be interested in helping too?
