Primary care, free at point of use
Vaccinations, antenatal visits, malaria testing, deworming and growth monitoring. No family is ever turned away for inability to pay.
Health & Healing
The body and the mind, together.
Every Agano hub runs a primary-care clinic open to the wider community, staffed by Kenyan, Ugandan or Ghanaian nurses we train and pay. We treat malaria, malnutrition, respiratory illness and waterborne disease — and we run an embedded trauma-informed counselling service for children who have lost a parent, fled conflict, or experienced abuse.

How the programme works on the ground.
Embedded mental health
Every hub has at least one trained counsellor offering free, confidential sessions for children and caregivers. We treat grief, trauma and depression as medical priorities, not afterthoughts.
Local nursing pipeline
Our nursing scholarship places forty African students per year into accredited diploma programmes, with a two-year service commitment at a hub clinic on graduation.
Field story
"I lost my mother to cholera when I was eleven. The counsellor at the Bukavu hub spent two years helping me name what had happened. Today I am studying clinical psychology — I will be the next counsellor in this room."
— Esther Kagame, age 19 · Bukavu, DR Congo
