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 400-600 patients, offering them free medical care and medicines. Over the past few years, we have provided long-term care for 20-40 people per year. Our Ugandan partners on the ground in Kampala provide the crucial pieces to this long-term care over the rest of the calendar year.
2025 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 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. We have sent aspiring pastors to seminary, students to 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.
2025 FOCUS:
We are looking to expand our scholarship program to be able to accept some of the students on our waiting list through individual sponsorship. Students attend boarding school, high school, college, and even doctoral programs. H3 has developed 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 has developed skills training, particularly for women, to allow them to support their families day-to-day. Women 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. The focus of our skills training is on the families of long-term patients who receive H3 care all year long.
Spiritual Guidance
Our counseling and preaching serves the students of African Bible University and helps area churches in their spread of the gospel. Our Ugandan staff provide spiritual guidance for the students and medical patients that we support.
2025 FOCUS:
We’re pleased to hold a pastor’s conference in May 2025 in conjunction with New City Church. Our own board member Wade Coleman will be involved with preaching and mentoring young Ugandan pastors during this two-day conference.
