Lichtstrahl Uganda e.V.

About us

Approximately 14,000 patients, 3,450 deliveries, 600 preschool children and exactly 107 employees! That is Lichtstrahl Uganda e. V. near Gulu (northern Uganda) in the year 2022.

Since 2010, the association has been implementing development aid and help for self-help on its own land. People receive acutely needed aid, medical care, schooling and vocational training that they could not otherwise afford, and thus prospects for work and a largely self-determined life. A team of local, locally trained nurses, midwives and social workers take care of them. Thanks to sponsors, individual donors and association members, reliable projects have grown:

Medical station incl. laboratory ("Health Centre 3", dental and ophthalmology are coming soon)
Maternal crisis center with maternity ward
Daycare center, preschool and primary school (2019 "Violence-free School" award)
Children's crisis house and a children's village
Re-income projects (coffee shop, guesthouse, bakery, bicycle workshop, farm, SimSimBalls)
