In Bukaaye village and surrounding communities in Kamuli District, Uganda, accessing essential medicines can require costly travel to town. Makaye Edrine, a pharmacy graduate hopes to establish a properly licensed community pharmacy to bring essential medicines closer to local families. This project will support shop setup, required approvals, pharmacy equipment and initial medicine supplies. The pharmacy will also help Edrine build a sustainable livelihood and work towards supporting others.
Families in Bukaaye village and nearby communities in Kamuli District face challenges accessing essential medicines close to home. Residents often need to travel to town to obtain medicines, adding transport costs and making access more difficult for households with limited incomes. Establishing a community pharmacy could help reduce these travel barriers by making essential medicines available closer to where people live.
We will establish a community pharmacy in Bukaaye to bring essential medicines closer to families and reduce costly trips to town. Donations will support the premises, required licenses, equipment and initial medicine stock. A pharmacy-trained professional supported through ABCCA's education sponsorship program will help make essential medicines more accessible to the community. By bringing medicines closer to the community, it will make access more convenient for underserved household.
