Healing Faith Uganda is a nonprofit organization established in 2012 working to improve access to healthcare in rural eastern Uganda.
Through community-based malaria centers, we provide free malaria diagnosis, treatment, and prevention education to communities with limited access to care. Learn more about our mission, what we do and the impact of our work.
Malaria is a leading cause of death for children in Uganda and the number one cause of sickness for all Ugandans. The Ugandan Ministry of Health estimates that 42 children die every single day in Uganda because of malaria.
It truly doesn’t have to be this way. Malaria is treatable! It costs less than $1 to test and treat a child with malaria.
Malaria is excessively burdening families and communities in the Mayuge District and Jinja District where Healing Faith operates because of the district’s close proximity to Lake Victoria and the Nile River. Mosquito populations thrive near the lake and areas surrounding the rive, resulting in high transmission rates of malaria.
Healing Faith works daily to educate, equip, and empower families in Uganda to prevent, treat, and cure malaria. Providing feasible and timely access to malaria testing, treatment and education is a critical component of Healing Faith’s Malaria Outreach Program.
The Healing Faith Malaria Center provides Mayuge District and Jinja District families with a place where they can bring children and loved ones suffering from malaria. The Malaria Center is staffed with team members and medical professionals trained to test and treat malaria, hang and repair nets, provide follow up home visits and provide ongoing malaria education.
Education and prevention are key to stopping the devastating toll malaria is taking on the villages of Uganda.
