Village Clinic Medicine

URGENT NEED: Village Clinic Medicine - Give Now


Village Medical OutreachIn response to our "Adopt a Village" program, Hope 4 Kids International has constructed nine medical clinics throughout remote villages in the surrounding area of Tororo, Uganda. These village clinics are located in areas where villagers used to walk up to seven miles to receive basic health care.


Villagers are dying in these areas from preventable and treatable diseases like Malaria which is the #1 killer in East Africa. They are also dying from Measles (#2), Dysentery (#3) and diseases related to HIV/AIDS (#4).


Medical staff and other personnel from our hospital travel to these villages to conduct medical outreaches for children and their families who otherwise would go untreated. Lines form and during a two-day outreach, between 350-400 villagers receive life-saving medical services.


Depending on the location of the village, villagers can receive treatment and medicine for about a dollar. Communities are delighted that they can receive life-saving services for such a low fee. By encouraging villagers to pay this small fee to offset the cost of the medicine and personnel, we are able to restore  some dignity because they have contributed to their medical services.


Villagers during a medical outreachThis methodology has helped make two of our clinics self-sufficient; however the oter seven are in need of our support. Seven clinics right now are stocked with very little medicine, if any at all. We need your support to stock these village medical clinics with life-saving drugs until we can help them become self-reliant and independent.


Imagine traveling miles with your sick child to a medical clinic that is out of medicine. It's unthinkable especially since most of us live in a society that is afforded quantities of medicine like candy.


In everything we do, we develop our projects with self-sufficiency in mind. But, its a process and there are many factors involved.


We ask that you will join Hope 4 Kids during this period to supply these life-saving drugs to villagers throughout Uganda.


For $575, we are able to conduct four two-day medical outreach clinics per month. With your help, over a thousand villagers in the surrounding area will receive treatment and medicine from our local hospital staff.


Any amount is appreciated! Thank you.
