Cervical cancer has shattered families in our communities — mothers lost to a disease that never should have taken them. The silence that follows leaves children without the women who held their households together.
In Uganda, cervical cancer is the leading cause of female cancer deaths. Every year, over 4,600 Ugandan women — mothers, sisters, and daughters — lose their lives to this disease. It is almost entirely preventable with early detection. Yet due to a massive lack of awareness and resource barriers, fewer than 10% of women have ever been screened.
This program funds targeted community awareness drives and free, life-saving cervical screenings for vulnerable women across Uganda. Your donation is not just a number — it is a shield. Help us ensure no more children have to say goodbye to their mothers too soon.
Targeted drives to close the screening gap.
Life-saving cervical cancer screenings at no cost.
Preventing deaths through timely screening.
Reaching women facing awareness and resource barriers.
In Uganda, nearly 1 in 4 girls aged 15-19 has begun childbearing — a reality that often triggers a domino effect of school dropouts and lost vocational momentum, trapping young women in a cycle of poverty.
Held at Heart Uganda fills the vacuum left by fragmented public youth-friendly corners by providing mobile health services and non-judgmental safe spaces in communities across Uganda. Accurate information on menstrual hygiene, abstinence and contraception directly combats the high adolescent contribution to pregnancy-related deaths (17.6%) and reduces the risk of unsafe abortions and obstetric fistula.
Our strategy blends livelihoods with SRHR — protecting the human capital developed through skilling initiatives, and aligning with the Uganda Ministry of Health's 2025/2026 guidelines to reap a demographic dividend.
We empower single mothers with entrepreneur skills like tailoring and soap making to enable them generate income and take care of their families. Skilling is paired with wellness coaching so that confidence — not just competence — moves with them into the marketplace.
From basic stitches to garment-quality finishing.
Practical formulations for household and resale income.
From the Kitetika-Mbazzi grounds, we deliver high-quality medical care directly to those who need it most — bridging the gap between clinical excellence and community accessibility.
Raising awareness to stop illness before it starts.
Expert care for mothers and infants and full SRHR support.
Education on Non-Communicable Diseases and nutrition guidance.
Reaching communities across Uganda for screenings and services.
Made possible by our dedicated team of medical professionals. Support our next outreach so we can impact more people in need.
We identify orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs) from slum and rural communities across Uganda. These children are bright, but their families can't afford to sustain them in school.
We currently provide scholastic materials and contribute half of their school fees for 10 pupils in primary. Partner with us so we can reach more children back to school.
