PROJECT UGANDA
On June 1, 2017, the CURA team traveled to Uganda alongside Project Orphans to serve impoverished communities in the Central Kampala region. We are in the process of building a medical clinic which will provide basic medical care for orphaned children, widows and those in the surrounding community who are ill due to lack of local medical care. The clinic will offer long-term medical support with help of a local nurse and physician and is anticipated to open early 2018. Our medical mission was a success. 26 health care professionals including US trained physicians, physician assistants, ICU trained nurses along-side Ugandan physicians were able to care for 3,000 patients in the Acholi region in five days as well as provide surgical interventions for those in need of immediate surgery.
We plan to implement long-term projects in the local community alongside Project Orphans to address food security and water resource challenges. Our mission is to set up a sustainable agriculture practice (permaculture) through engagement and empowerment of locals and install a water well to provide the community with access to drinking water.
In May 2018, Project Orphans and CURA for the world opened the doors of the Project Orphans CURA Medical Center in Luwero District Uganda.
