When someone needs emergency medical attention in the U.S., help is just a phone call away. But in remote regions in Uganda, there’s no such thing as 911. When children in these villages become critically ill because of malnourishment or infections like malaria, HIV, and tuberculosis, their parents feel desperate. Paralyzed by their lack of medical resources, this is where Love One steps in to help.
At Love One, we want parents to know that treatment is available—no matter how sick their child and how hopeless the situation may seem.
Here’s how we help
CRITICAL CARE
Our community liaisons search Gulu’s outlying villages for critically ill children, or they are brought to The Love One Center so we can coordinate emergency access to life-saving healthcare.
REHABILITATIVE CARE
When the children are stable, they’re transferred to the Love One Center to fully recuperate, and their parents learn about basic healthcare, nutrition, and hygiene.
COMMUNITY CARE
Restored to health, children return home to grateful families and joyful communities. Love One offers ongoing support through nutritional education, family strengthening and spiritual programs.
Eight-year-old Matthias was severely malnourished and in critical need of medical treatment. Without life-saving healthcare, he was not likely to survive.
Emergency medical treatment is only the first step. Without ongoing care, children who are returned to their communities often become sick again. To put them on a path to complete healing, we bring them to the Love One Center, where they receive rehabilitative services and their parents learn how to keep them healthy. They return home fully healed—a miraculous recovery that restores hope in their community.
Together, we can transform entire communities—one child at a time.
Many critically ill children in Uganda don’t have easy access to medical care, so Love One ensures they receive the emergency healthcare and rehabilitative services they need. When children are restored to health, they return home to grateful families and joyful communities.
