Projects & Impact
Health is one of the clearest expressions of our service. Our projects are built on a simple, practical approach: identify urgent needs, work with trusted partners, and focus on solutions that save lives and improve dignity in care.

A Rotary global grant project worth US$166,050, designed to reduce preventable maternal and newborn mortality in Kabale, Kabarole and Wakiso. The project delivered village ambulances, referral support, antenatal care and training for doctors, nurses and midwives. By January 2023, at least seven village ambulances and related maternal and child health equipment had been distributed. Partners included RC Allschwil-Regio Basel, the World Health Organization, district health management teams and Pulse Uganda.
