Healing Wheels Uganda
“Healing kids, one school at a time”
We drive fully sponsored, high-quality healthcare straight to the school — so that no child in Uganda is kept out of the classroom by an illness we could have prevented and treated.
Healthcare that comes to the child — not the other way around
Healing Wheels Uganda identifies and addresses the health barriers that keep school-going children from learning. We deliver fully sponsored health education, prevention, screening, treatment and referral on site — so every child can learn, thrive and reach their full potential.
Every year millions of school days are lost to preventable conditions: malaria, dental disease, malnutrition, poor menstrual hygiene, skin infections, undiagnosed vision and hearing problems. Health education comes first, because most of these should never reach a clinic. Our mobile clinics then screen, treat and refer — in a single school visit.
child for a year
Six packages of care, delivered on every visit
One stop for the whole child — health education, promotion, screening, treatment and referral.
Paediatric Primary Healthcare
Screening, diagnosis, treatment and referral — the full continuum in one visit.
Adolescent Reproductive Health
Judgement-free sexual and reproductive health education and confidential one-to-one care.
Menstrual Health & Hygiene
Fully sponsored reusable pads, pain relief and MHH clubs — because pain is the top reason girls miss school.
Child & Adolescent Mental Health
Awareness, screening and counselling for self-harm, addiction and behavioural concerns.
Immunisation & Vaccination
On-site, age-appropriate vaccination per national guidelines, including HPV and tetanus campaigns.
Health Informatics
Data systems that drive evidence-based care and patient safety.

Voices from the communities we serve
“Healing Wheels will enable us to execute many health programmes we have desired to among the children in schools.”
“We are privileged to have received the services we got. Many of these families could not afford what you provided to their children.”
“With programmes like these, we can tackle ailments that hinder our children’s success in school and reduce dropout rates.”
Working within the system, not around it
Our work supports Uganda’s HSDP III, the National School Health Policy and the CHEW strategy, and advances Global Goals 3, 4 and 5.
One camp can change a child’s whole year
Give, partner or lend your voice — and help a child walk back into class well, ready and unafraid of the next illness.
