St Faustina

The center has recieved tremendous support from the Parish of St.Marys of the Angels in Worthing through the Justice and Peace group. This support has been channelled through Mr and Mrs Rod Thick who have also offered support in their personal capacity. This has included: 1. COVID EMERGENCY SUPPORT 2. Funding for the PURCHASE OF ESSENTIAL DRUGS 3. Over 1000 optical glasses 4. ORTHOPAEDIC INSTRUMENTS including 300 walking sticks 5. GENERAL MEDICAL ITEMS. Without this ongoing support the center would not have managed to go through the crises of the last three years.

PROSPECTS

1.We are eager to engage more DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS especially from the United Kingdom. We need help to expand our physical structures in order to meet the demands of the ever increasing number of patients. In this we need help to construct a MATERNITY BLOCK and an operating THEATER.

2. The center is eager to receive VISITS from medical practitioners/specialists/volunteers to engage with the community in the treatment of tropical deseases. Common problems include Hernia, Glaucoma, Genaecological ailments, Malnutrition and Malaria.

3. The center needs urgent assitance with a an AMBULANCE to assist our outreach in this very rural area of Uganda.

4. We need support to set up A NURSES TRAINING CENTER that will benefit to provide personeel for the rest of the district.

5. We need assistance to set up a SOUP KITCHEN for the vulnerable residents that cannot afford to have a meal. We have already started on this work but it needs expansion.
