Charity in Uganda – what can it do?
- Can you imagine holding a dying baby in your arms or watch a mother crying because she cannot look after her children?
- Can you imagine walking 15 miles to Hospital whenever you needed treatment?
- Can you imagine being in labour and having to have your baby in the field, on the roadside, or in a market?
- Can you imagine growing up in a place where there are no toys, no footballs, no sweets and treats?
- Can you imagine growing up in a place where you lack
the most basic things in life:
food, clean water, safety, and a bed of your own?
- Can you imagine having to work in the field daily to grow your own food and walk 10 miles to school everyday?
- Have you ever seen small children playing, knowing that their parents died and left them with AIDS virus?
- Do you ever think that the world is not fair and we need to do something’?
That world and that place does exist and it is where Suubi Medical Clinic is endeavouring to make a difference.
