We believe that with proper education, prevention, and feasible access to malaria testing and treatment, there will be a day when families in Uganda will not have to lose their children and loved ones to malaria. "
-Healing Faith
Founded by Jason and Kari Segner in 2011, Healing Faith's mission is to educate, equip, and empower families in Uganda to prevent and treat malaria. Jason and Kari, along with their children, moved from College Station, TX to Uganda in January 2012. Having lost a child, their hearts and minds were set on helping other families not suffer the same. Malaria is the number one killer of children under five in Uganda, yet it is preventable and treatable.
What began as a village-to-village outreach program in which the Healing Faith team carried mosquito nets and provided malaria prevention education home-to-home, has since evolved into efficient, effective, and scalable programs involving malaria testing, treatment, and prevention education, operated exclusively by Ugandan medical staff.
In 2017, Healing Faith opened its first one-of-a-kind Malaria Center in a Ugandan village strategically located to its proximity to Lake Victoria where the mosquito population is enormous leading to high transmission rates of malaria. The center provides a feasible diagnosis, treatment, and education for the more than 80,000 Ugandans in the area. Since its 2017 opening, over 33,000 patients have been tested for malaria.
