Our story

From Kitetika-Mbazzi grounds to communities across central Uganda.

Held at Heart Uganda began at the Kitetika-Mbazzi grounds with a simple mission: to ensure no community is left behind in the journey of progress. We believe that true change starts at home, powered by the hands of those who live there.

We specialize in reaching the last mile — delivering high-quality medical care directly to those who need it most through strategic medical camps and community outreaches.

Our growth has been steady and intentional. Five focused programs. Three districts. Hundreds of mothers, children and young people whose stories now bend toward hope.
