Health Care

Healthcare Access in Rural Uganda Remains Extremely Limited.

In Nakaseke:

  • 1 doctor serves 25,000 people
  • 57% of parishes have no health facility
  • Many walk 5–10 km to reach care

Nutrition Education & Household Food Security

ACCESS trains caregivers, pregnant mothers, and households on balanced diets using locally available foods, kitchen gardens, and food hygiene practices.
We monitor children for malnutrition, provide supplementation, and teach families how to prevent stunting.

Mental Health Awareness & Counselling

We run village dialogues, school sessions, and clinic-based counselling to address:

  • Depression
  • Trauma
  • Substance abuse
  • Adolescent mental health

Trained counselors support youth, caregivers, and survivors of violence with confidential, stigma-free care.

Immunization Campaigns

ACCESS collaborates with government health teams to:

  • Increase routine childhood vaccines
  • Conduct outreach immunization in hard-to-reach villages
  • Track missed children through CHWs

This reduces preventable diseases such as measles, tetanus, and polio.

Market Access Facilitation

ACCESS connects local producers to:

  • Better buyers
  • Cooperatives
  • Traders
  • Value chains

Producers earn more and expand faster.

Antenatal & Maternal Health Care

We ensure safer pregnancies through:

Young people receive:

  • SRHR education
  • STI screening and management

  • Life-skills training
  • Safe spaces to ask questions without fear

WASH reduces infection and waterborne diseases.
