School-Going Children Initiative
Our flagship — and the whole of what we do today. Free, multidisciplinary care delivered where the children already are.
Healthcare at the school gate
Every year, millions of Ugandan children are kept out of class by preventable illness — malaria, untreated dental problems, malnutrition and menstrual health challenges.
Today we deliver care through mobile outreach camps run on school grounds by a rotating team of trained healthcare professionals — routine and urgent screening, basic treatment, health education, and structured referral into the existing health system. Our Year-1 goal is to equip two fully-fitted mobile clinic units so this care reaches many more schools, in step with the academic calendar and national health strategies, keeping children healthy, present and learning.
One stop for the whole child
- ✓Routine & urgent screening across primary care, oral, eye, ear and menstrual health.

- ✓Health education for pupils, teachers and parents, and MHH clubs for girls.
- ✓Structured referral into the public health system and to surgical partners for complex cases.
