HEALTH
At SEF Foundation, we shall undertake various health improvement initiatives, ranging from primary and environmental healthcare services and provision of first aid equipment. We also intend to run community and people-centered awareness health campaigns on challenging health issues such as on HIV Aids awareness, teenage pregnancies and early marriages, malaria prevention and treatment, family planning, and infant mortality among others.
The Foundation will organize free healthcare programs to very poor rural communities in partnership with the Local Government healthcare centers by providing medical interventions to prevalent ailments plaguing such communities.
Our Health Programs
Sight for the Poor
It is a known fact that blindness is an important cause and effect of poverty. The project goal is to work with poor and marginalized communities to ensure that People do not go blind unnecessarily. “Sight for the poor project” will ensure that we prevent, treat and cure avoidable blindness and promote eye health. We will ensure a positive and long term impact in the lives of project beneficiaries by collaborating with local communities, to forge alliances and partnerships to provide total sight to victims and or potential victims of blindness.
De-worming of children Aged 2-11yrs
Nutritional impairment during childhood as shown by research can significantly impact on growth and development of children. It is believed that worm infections can also cause cognitive impairment as well as tissue damage that may require corrective surgery. It is regarded as the world’s number one cause of intellectual and physical retardation especially in children. SFF Foundation will conduct a mass outcry on the need to deworm children who are most at risk in the rural areas as well as provide preventive and curative measures. The program aims to create awareness on the harm caused by worm infections.
Health for Life initiative
Many people across Uganda do not have access to healthcare which may mean the difference between life and death. Furthermore, hundreds of millions are forced into poverty annually by the cost of accessing their local healthcare services. Proponents of the right to health care say that no one should go without health care as health is life and requires a collective effort of both the government and key stakeholders to ensure that lives are preserved.
