HAC’S FUTURE

Fudge5fin

Expanding our work to other areas of Uganda and countries is our main end goal. This is what we are doing to prioritize expansion

  • Reaching new communities: we are building relationships in other remote areas and have a plan on where to expand our work. 
  • Integrating more health services into the outreach clinics: we are especially interested in bringing HIV testing, antiretroviral therapy, maternal services, and other health care services to the communities
  • Increasing HAC’s capacity: to support patient outreaches, we need to expand our staff, partner with foundations and Corporate Social Responsibility Programs 

Do you represent another nonprofit, governmental or educational institution and would like to partner with us? Reach out to us through our contact page so we can chat!
