For over 20 years, For over two decades, northern Uganda witnessed brutal warfare, resulting in numerous atrocities against civilians, including kidnapping, mutilation, torture, sexual violence, and murder. The Alliance For African Assistance Uganda's mission is to advance social development, education, psychosocial support, and community-based life skills for the underprivileged through advocacy, training, research, and effective management in key areas: basic education, economic empowerment, water and sanitation, and disease prevention.

 

Our office plays a vital role in developing and managing Atiak Hospital. We established a branch in Gulu, Uganda, near Atiak, following Community Needs Assessment meetings in 2015, where the urgent need for a hospital was identified. With community support and land donation, we funded and constructed a 200-bed hospital, set to treat patients in early 2021, with medical equipment support from Rotary International Foundation, and ten San Diego Rotary Clubs.

 

Northern Uganda faces high infant and maternal mortality rates, primarily due to diseases like pneumonia, malaria, diarrhea, and HIV/AIDS, exacerbated by the presence of South Sudanese refugees.

The Alliance needs your support to ensure the hospital can serve all in need. Generous donors are already backing this project, and we hope this video will inspire you to join as a supporter.
