Children Beneficiaries

Our ECG machine donation initiative has directly impacted the lives of children in need. Through the generous support of our community, we have helped provide life-saving cardiac care and surgical interventions for children across multiple regional hospitals in Uganda.

These young lives represent the heart of our mission - turning camping adventures into meaningful community impact.

ECG Machine Handover - Arua Hospital

Rotary Clubs of Arua together with the campers officially handed over the ECG machine to Arua Regional Referral Hospital. The Hospital team were very excited and informed the Rotarians that the machine has come timely at a time when the ICU unit is almost complete for use.

The narrative about Rotary changed today because they thought it's a club for chilling, enjoying and laughing. It's the little things we do that matter most with focus on service above self.

Great appreciation to the Camping fellowship, Rotarians and well-wishers who have always come through to support the cause.

Donation of ECG machines

We are incredibly proud to share this moment: the successful donation of 5 vital Electrocardiogram (ECG) machines to Uganda Heart Institute in Mulago, Jinja, Mbarara, Masaka Regional Referral Hospitals, and Busolwe General Hospital in Butaleja. These machines have been used to help over 10,000 patients. Additionally, 12 children have been supported for heart surgeries. This initiative was the primary focus of our recent major camping fundraiser, demonstrating that the funds raised around the campfire directly translate into life-saving equipment and healthcare for our communities.
