Public benefits
The direct benefits of Share Uganda are a malaria prevention programme which includes mosquito net distribution and education, as well as health camps for basic check-ups and medication. The outcomes of this project are less people contracting malaria, improving the overall health outcomes of the area. The provision of low cost health clinics and
access to basic medication have added services that otherwise would not be available. There has also been improvement of education and awareness of health needs and hygiene. This can be demonstrated in our annual reports as well as trip reports, correspondence, and bank transactions. It is unlikely that any harm will come from our projects. The population of Kabira and the surrounding area are the beneficiaries. We have also helped enable a nurse in the area to maintain her post and continue her education in the area in order to serve the local community. We can evidence this through our annual reports showing the progression of the different projects, as well as correspondence between us and the group out in Uganda. The population of Kabira and sourounding Greater Kabira Area are the main beneficiaries of this charity. Volunteers receive training, such as access NI training, and experience out in the field, but this is necessary to the running of the charity.

Share Uganda is an entirely not-for-profit, voluntary run charity, supporting a small village called Kyotera in Southern Uganda. Health and education, innovative sustainability, and local partnerships form the core of the organisation. The three main aspects being worked on at the moment are: 1.Malaria PRevention Our program advocates that
education alongside the distribution of mosquito nets is the only sustainable method of ensuring that we are working towards malaria prevention in the Kabira area. The program is now entirely led by local Ugandans: Enoch Walagumbe, Margaret Walagumbe and Kalema John work tirelessly on our malaria prevention programme. Kalema is a founding member of the Kaaso Empowerment Group, which supports our program and identifies families in the area who remain in need of mosquito nets. 2. Health Camps Share Uganda started health camps in 2012. They were held again in 2013 and 2014 due to their popularity in the community. The aim of these camps is to provide local people a low cost way to see a doctor and receive medications for simple infections including malaria and other medical conditions. 3. Support for Medical Practitioners Share Uganda has helped two local women to further their education. Nurse Nashiba, our sick bay nurse at Kaaso, is currently training as a clinical officer as a result of Share Uganda Sponsorship. We are also providing a scholarship to a local girl, Jacqueline Gimbo, in the field of nursing. She aspires to return to the community and work in the school sick bay in future. 4. Sustainability Sustainability in Kaaso School focuses on education related to hygiene, clean water, and the effective use of mosquito nets. We work very closely with the School’s Empowerment Group ensuring that education is transferable; many of our projects are now completely led by local Ugandans. Health scholarships ensure that local people can be empowered to come into their own communities and provide health care.
