You have cared for almost 100 orphaned children each year at St. Jude Childrenβs Home, championed their transition to a full-inclusion orphanage serving children in small group homes, improved maternal health by providing salaries for midwives at Lacor Hospital, and provided oxygen during the COVID-19 epidemic.
You believe children everywhere deserve a chance to thrive. You know people canβt solve problems they donβt know about, so you have worked with Social Promise to teach your child about life in rural Uganda, global poverty, and philanthropic solutions.
You know the poorest people in the poorest places donβt deserve to be suffering. So you donated generously to support education, healthy living, and medical care in rural Uganda.
Lacor's leadership has long recognized that staff welfare is closely connected to the quality of care patients receive.
When you support Lacor, you are not simply funding services. You are investing in a hospital that has earned the trust of the community it serves.
Although no cases have been reported in Northern Uganda, Lacor Hospital is maintaining a high level of vigilance and preparedness.
On average, 450 to 500 refugees receive treatment at the hospital each year. In a country that hosts nearly two million refugees, this work is ongoing and essential.
