At Nissi project Uganda, we believe that every child deserves to grow up healthy, strong, and full of life. Many of the children who come into our care arrive with untreated illnesses, malnutrition, or the deep exhaustion that comes from years of uncertainty. Our mission is to restore their health and their hope.
Through strategic partnerships with local clinics and hospitals, we ensure that children receive the comprehensive medical, dental, and emotional attention they need to thrive and succeed in their daily lives.
Every pillar addresses a specific health need — together, they create a comprehensive healthcare safety net that keeps children healthy, strong, and resilient.

Patient Voice
“When I first came to Nissi Project, I was very sick and felt tired all the time. The doctors helped me get better, and the counselors helped me feel happy again. Now I am strong and healthy!”
Uganda's healthcare system faces deep, systemic challenges. Here's what we're up against — and how we're responding.
Many rural communities do not have a nearby health facility. Children often suffer from preventable or treatable conditions because they cannot reach a doctor in time.
Our solution: Partnering with local clinics & mobile outreachMany children arrive with severe malnutrition, leading to stunted growth, weakened immune systems, and deep exhaustion that affects their daily lives.
Our solution: Nutritional support & recovery programsYears of uncertainty, poverty, and loss leave children with deep emotional scars. Mental health is often overlooked, yet it is crucial for overall well-being.
Our solution: Counselling, mentorship & psychosocial supportDental care is a luxury in many parts of Uganda. Untreated cavities and infections cause severe pain, leading to difficulties eating and concentrating in school.
Our solution: Regular dental check-ups & hygiene educationA lack of knowledge about basic hygiene and sanitation leads to high rates of preventable diseases like cholera, dysentery, and respiratory infections.
Our solution: Health education & sanitation workshopsEven when clinics are available, the cost of medicine and treatment is prohibitive for vulnerable families, leaving children without necessary care.
Our solution: Fully funding treatments for children in needWe believe in full financial transparency. Here's a breakdown of every dollar invested in our medical care programme.
We are committed to maximising the impact of every shilling received. Our finances are independently audited annually, and full reports are available to all donors.
We believe that true health encompasses physical, mental, and emotional well-being. By treating illnesses, providing preventive education, and offering compassionate counselling, we restore not just health, but hope — preparing children to live full, vibrant lives.
