Reports from the field, voices from the communities we serve, and what’s coming next.
500+ children reached in a single day
Our inaugural medical camp brought together 38 volunteer doctors, nurses and students. Over 500 children were reached and 259 formally screened and treated — and the day surfaced findings that needed immediate action: untreated dental disease, respiratory infections, malaria and skin conditions. Complex cases were referred on, and every girl who needed one went home with a sanitary kit.
What people said after Malukhu
The people who know these children best — their teachers and city health leaders — told us what a day of care meant.
“We are privileged to have received the services we got. Many of these families could not afford what you provided to their children.”
“Healing Wheels will enable us to execute many health programmes we have long desired for the children in our schools.”
“With programmes like these, we can tackle the ailments that hold back our children’s success in school and cut dropout rates.”

Camp ReportWhat our first camp uncovered
Behind the numbers were real diagnoses — children who had never seen a clinician, girls missing school each month, and treatable conditions caught early. It is why we keep going.
Menstrual HealthPads that keep girls in class
At every camp, girls who need them receive reusable sanitary kits and menstrual-health guidance — a simple step that keeps them from missing a week of school each month.
AnnouncementEight schools on the calendar
Approved by the Mbale City Town Clerk and City Health Officer, eight community camps are being lined up across the Industrial Division. Follow along here as each is confirmed.
