The Andy Kind Heart Foundation is a registered NGO operating across Uganda, dedicated to improving the lives of older persons, vulnerable women, children, and orphans. Since 2014, the foundation has provided essential medical care, education, nutrition, and home-based support to hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged individuals. Despite global aging trends and increasing life expectancy, older people—especially in rural Uganda—face severe neglect, struggling to access basic needs and care. While children receive considerable attention, the elderly are often overlooked, despite their rights and invaluable wisdom.
Our project aims to transform elder care in Uganda through:
Community education on elder challenges and solutions.
Establishing specialized geriatric care centers beyond typical hospital services.
Launching income-generating food security initiatives that support nutrition for elders and empower youth economically.
Creating an emergency response system with communication links, standby ambulances, and trained geriatric health professionals.
We seek $1,160,400 to launch this project, building on our proven track record of successful community health and social support programs. Our vision is to ensure every older person in Uganda, regardless of location or status, has access to professional health care, dignified living conditions, and economic opportunities.
The urgency is clear: Uganda’s aging population is growing, yet no specialized health or social care systems exist to meet their complex needs. This project will fill that critical gap, offering comprehensive support to help elders live with dignity and security.
Our experienced team, led by a project director and supported by health professionals, will oversee implementation, monitoring, and evaluation to ensure impactful and sustainable outcomes. We invite donors to join us in creating a future where Uganda’s elderly are respected, cared for, and empowered as vital members of society.
