Heads Hearts & Hands is unique in that every area of our service supports organizations that are already on the ground in Uganda.
Medical Clinics
Since 2017, H3 has employed Ugandans to provide medical services to their communities, including specialist care, surgeries, transportation, and medications. Each clinic day, we care for 350-600 patients, offering them free medical care and medicines. Over the past two years, we have identified about 40 people that need long-term care. Our Ugandan partners on the ground in Kampala provide the crucial pieces to this long-term care over the rest of the calendar year.
2023 FOCUS:
H3 clinics are often the only source of healthcare for Ugandans in poverty. Along with basic healthcare, our patients will have access to a dentist, ophthalmologist, gynecologist, ear/nose/throat doctor; they may receive cancer and HIV screenings; ultrasounds and simple lab tests. In addition, we will follow up with our long-term patients who are cared for year-round by the H3-Uganda team.
Scholarships
We provide scholarships for students identified as being in need by our H3-Uganda team. One of our recipients is attending a seminary here in the States; several young people have been sponsored in their education at African Bible University; and we have helped young women to attend high school and college. Young people without an education, especially young women, are at extreme risk in Uganda and they remain in poverty.
2023 FOCUS:
We are sponsoring about 17 young people to attend high school, college, and even law school. H3 is developing a discipleship program for these students so that they will also receive leadership training and be equipped for service in their country and in their churches.
Skills Training and Family Entrepreneurship
Ugandans face swift poverty when the family’s wage-earner passes away or becomes unable to work. H3 is developing skills training, particularly for women, to allow them to support their families day-to-day. Students are taught to make chapati, a typical Ugandan flatbread served on the streets; basket-making, soap-making, and paper and envelope-making. These skills, while simple, will earn a family a living wage.
Spiritual Guidance
Our counseling and preaching serves the students of African Bible University and helps area churches in their spread of the gospel. We are able to periodically serve by teaching classes at ABU.
