We are grateful to share an update on the Uganda Refugee Health Insurance and Development Fund, made possible by the continued generosity of our donors. As of December 2025, your support has enabled us to provide free healthcare access to six refugees through the Go-Card insurance program. This support has ensured timely and dignified medical care for vulnerable families who would otherwise face significant barriers to accessing health services.
In 2025, we have witnessed both hope and hardship. One of the children previously supported through this project survived a severe malaria episode because Go-Card insurance covered the cost of treatment. Sadly, we also experienced a profound loss when one beneficiary passed away, leaving her daughter, Ella, orphaned. Despite this tragedy, we remain fully committed to supporting Ella’s health and education, ensuring she can continue in school and receive the care she needs to thrive.
Beyond healthcare, this project continues to strengthen family stability and resilience. Local host families supporting refugees now care for six individuals, with access to healthcare and education for the children in their care. We cannot do this work alone. Your continued partnership is essential to sustaining this lifeline for refugee families and ensuring that children like Ella are not left behind.
Thank you for standing with us and making this impact possible.
