For orphans and vulnerable children in Uganda, good health is often the first step toward a brighter future. Without access to proper medical care or clean drinking water, many children face preventable illnesses that keep them out of school and limit their potential. At Orphan Aid Uganda, we believe every child deserves the right to grow up healthy, strong, and full of life.
The Health Challenges Facing Orphans in Uganda
Many orphaned children live in rural or underserved areas where healthcare facilities are scarce, medical costs are unaffordable, and clean water is difficult to access. Common challenges include:
- Malaria and other preventable diseases
- Malnutrition and poor growth
- Lack of vaccinations and regular check-ups
- Waterborne illnesses from unsafe drinking water
Our Healthcare & Clean Water Support Programs
1. Medical Care & Health Screenings
We provide access to medical check-ups, treatments, and emergency care to ensure children receive the attention they need when they need it.
2. Vaccinations & Preventive Care
We work with health professionals to ensure children are vaccinated against life-threatening diseases and taught healthy hygiene practices.
3. Nutrition Support
Through regular feeding programs and nutrition education, we combat malnutrition and help children grow strong and healthy.
4. Clean Water Access
We install and maintain water tanks, boreholes, and filtration systems in schools and communities where the children live, ensuring they have safe water for drinking and cooking.
5. Hygiene & Sanitation Education
We teach children and their caregivers about hand-washing, waste management, and hygiene to reduce the spread of disease.
Why Health and Clean Water Matter
A healthy child is more likely to attend school, participate in play, and focus on building a better future. Clean water and healthcare do more than save lives — they restore dignity and give children the strength to pursue their dreams.

Your support can:
- Fund a child’s medical care for an entire year
