Part of the -Rwenzori Mountains

In  the year 2008 an assessment was done by RRHS and the findings were that 30% of the population in the RRHS project area of operation goes for health services. The reason is that the area is mountainous and health facilities are located far away.

RRHS started calling willing volunteers globally to come and offer their time sharing experiences with rural people. To obtain a brochure for this specific project contact us or our on line Health Adviser - based in USA Email: m.avondstondt@gmail.com

After a long time working on this project, the organization volunteers and community members  emphasized on how people struggle travelling for health services; and conducted a meeting discussing how to put in place a rural community health facility that will save lives of especially pregnant mothers and their new babies.

Community Members discussing the need for a rural maternity centre/ Health Centre - January 2008

After several meetings, land was purchased and Mithai –RRHS – External Volunteer; became the first volunteer to buy some of the building materials.

Investments were then made to extend gravity water to the Health Centre.

RRHS coordinates with  professionals to  manage the project at low cost. And as an organization, we would like to continue  involving intern students, willing persons and retired individuals from national and international levels; as a means of supplementing  government efforts in achieving the  Millennium Development goal No. 8 (Develop Global Partnership for Development.) And MDG No. 4 & 5.

You can be the next Volunteer to this project in Uganda - east Africa. Tell friends about this project/website http://rrhskasese.blogspot.com

Towards the end of the year 2011; NASF- organization in the Netherlands  responded by supplementing our efforts. NASF donated a few dollars and we were able to construct the maternity centre up  to the level of putting roofing plates. Luc Sorel - a partner in Belgium and the RRHS Board - added more dollars that enabled the Health Centre to be varnished and functional. See more pictures below:

We have expanded the community clinic, but it requires completion, starting with painting, up to equipping it with basic things. 

Community members are excited to officially open the Postnatal ward to support pregnant mothers and their new babies. We are still looking for partners in order to do our work better. Just click on the video below:

We are pleased to inform our friends globally that the maternity centre opened on the 29th June 2014. However,  we still need volunteers to  help us perform quality service. Feel free to plan a visit.

On 29th June 2014, RRHS Board Members contributed a start up fund. We have been able to start operations currently with one nurse. We need your advice and need volunteers. Email to help at: ruralservices60@gmail.com

I am excited to inform you that Anike foundation has extended a small grant to RRHS for purchasing Mama Kits as a means of promoting maternal health. This project will continue until July 2023. Project start date July 2022.

At the launching of the maternal health project, 73 pregnant mothers attended. It was amazing.
