Donate and save a million lives in Uganda!

St John Uganda is an illustrious voluntary NGO in Uganda with the potential to save lives through First aid, ambulance services and other community based health services such as adolescent health and resilience, Maternal and Child health, dental outreaches and primary health care services among others but only blemished by its limited resources.
However, St John has been identified as a potential key player in Uganda’s health sector by a number of Uganda’s policies such as The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) 2006,The Youth Policy 2001, the transportation policy, and the National Road safety policy among others. Your inkind contribution will enable St John Uganda fully utilize its 1,710 adult volunteers spread allover the country and be able to make a difference in people’s lives.
