Outreach Uganda volunteers bring clinic supplies - June 2024

Your Impact in Action at the Agwata Clinic

Volunteers Melanie and Ethan Bring Needed Clinic Supplies

We have some wonderful news to share that highlights the incredible difference you’re making at our Agwata Clinic in northern Uganda!

Thanks to your generous contributions, our clinic received a very special delivery of maternity supplies in June. Our dedicated volunteers, Melanie and Ethan, brought these essential items straight to the clinic, and the joy they brought is evident in the photo of Melanie with our smiling clinic staff.

Your support plays a crucial role in keeping our clinic running smoothly. While we work hard to stretch every dollar to cover essential medicines like malaria treatments, your donations have allowed us to go beyond the basics and provide much-needed maternity supplies. This extra support was a huge relief for the clinic staff and a blessing for the mothers in the community.

During their visit, Melanie and Ethan had the chance to meet many of these mothers and their babies during an immunization day. Seeing the direct impact of your donations—witnessing the smiles and hearing the gratitude of those who benefit from our services—was truly heartwarming.

Since we opened the clinic in mid-2013, it has become a lifeline for over 5,000 people in five nearby villages. Thanks to you, the elderly, the sick, and young mothers no longer face the arduous 17-kilometer journey to the nearest health center.

Every donation you make helps transform lives and supports a community in need. We deeply appreciate your commitment and generosity. You are making a real difference, and we are grateful to have you on this journey with us.

New sewing room & serger machine

New Serger Machine for our Jinja Office

Our new sewing room in Jinja is now up and running, and it’s making a big difference! With the addition of a used serger machine, our artisans are expanding their skills so they can provide an even wider range of beautiful products for you. Working with an electric machine is new to most of the ladies. They are used to sewing on manual, non-electric machines that are powered by hand!

Under Sharon’s, our Women’s and Education Coordinator’s, guidance we’re training more of our artisans to use both manual and electric machines to create unique, handcrafted items that we can’t wait for you to see. Some of our ladies now know how to make reusable sanitary pad kits that are used in our northern Uganda location. In addition, some of the Jinja ladies can also serge unpaper towels. These towels can be used in the U.S. instead of disposable paper towels which are not environmentally friendly.
