The Challenges

Child Mortality

Uganda’s infant mortality currently stands at 43 deaths per 1000 live births, therefore 1 in 23 children dies before reaching their first birthday, with 42% of the mortality occurring during the neonatal period.

Disabilities

Children with disabilities are often overlooked and fail to receive they care and education they deserve. Parents often have limited resources and education on how to care for these beautiful children.

What We Do

RUJA Community Clinic was born…

 …out of the struggles created by the COVID pandemic. RUJA’s Ugandan staff was partnering with local medical organizations to care for children with disabilities and medical care and food for those who did not have access. While hosting regular medical camps, it became clear that the village needed a clinic of its own.

Due to local partnerships in Uganda and your generous response, RUJA Community Clinic was opened only 6 months after the dream was born.

This is where you come in.
