Medical Project

Our US-based board is currently weighing medical treatment options for two of our scholarship beneficiaries. The two students we currently support both suffer from congenital conditions which affect them on a daily basis.

There is potential to arrange subsidized treatments for their surgeries, which is a bit tricky to do from a distance. Fortunately, Tusubira has recruited a Uganda-based coordinator to help with the nitty-gritty details, and liaising with our capable partners. We hope to have a solution presented such that our student-scholars can be treated in a timely manner with the best possible care.

We would welcome any support for this project or general programs. We have an ambitious plan for 2017, and we cannot achieve it without your assistance! Thank you!
