April 2026 is Health Month at REACH for Uganda. We are launching a health improvement campaign to fund and sustain health programs and critical infrastructure improvements.

We operate two medical clinics that deliver basic medical care, malaria, pneumonia and tuberculosis treatment, HIV care, maternal health services, and health education that equips families, especially girls and young women, with practical knowledge to improve health outcomes.

REACH wants to upgrade the Beatrice Tierney clinic facilities, starting in Bupoto, where current delivery and inpatient rooms do not meet patient demand. These upgrades will expand capacity and enable specialty services, including dental, optometry, and ophthalmology. Dr. George Bwaya will continue to lead clinical operations in both clinics.

We have an offer from one of our donors who will match all contributions towards the improvements at the clinics in Bupoto and Bumwalukani. Each clinic requires approximately $200,000 to build and equip.

This month, the Bupoto clinic will launch dental services from a temporary facility at the clinic. Frank Khatete, the first dentist to graduate from the AAH program, will provide services ranging from cleanings to root canals.

REACH will also pilot an optometry program for students at its primary schools and Hawthorne-Scribner High School.

All donations support clinic improvements and service delivery. Matching funds apply to all infrastructure contributions or pledged annual contributions of over $10,000.

Help us make a lasting impact. Look at other ways to give here https://reachforuganda.org/donate/waystodonate/

Support our clinics and the critical care they provide in honor of World Health Day.

We completed the first phase of construction of the Hawthorne - Scribner High School and opened it February 17, 2025, to students and held an official celebration opening on July 5, 2025, where we also opened the new Schoenbrun Science and Technology Building. We did that together! We are grateful to all our partners and donors.
