Healthy Environments,
Healthy People.

Right now, the health of thousands of Ugandan families is at risk.

Due to unprecedented foreign aid cuts, critical healthcare and conservation programs in Uganda’s Rukiga District face shutdown in the very near future. 

Efforts to restore Rukiga’s wetlands, protect its wildlife, and provide high-quality healthcare for its people have dramatically improved ecological health and community wellbeing in just a few short years. Unless we take action today, all of that progress may be lost just as quickly.

You can make sure the people of Uganda’s Rukiga District get the healthcare they need.

I WANT TO SUPPORT HEALTHY HABITATS AND COMMUNITIES

 

When people see the connection between health and sustainability,
they make a positive impact—for themselves, their communities, and their lands.

The International Crane Foundation is helping the communities of Uganda’s Rukiga District gain access to essential, reliable healthcare services.

Since 2021, population, health, and environmental programs in Rukiga have:

  • More than doubled the number of working healthcare clinics from 10 to 21.
  • Trained 101 providers from local communities to provide high-quality healthcare.
  • Educated 8,469 people on the links between human and environmental health.
  • Provided more than 16,000 healthcare consultations.

Working together with partners and local communities, we are helping to create environments where people, cranes, and other wildlife can thrive. Now more than ever, we need your help.

I WANT TO SUPPORT HEALTH FOR PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT

In Rukiga, local people are trained to provide healthcare and environmental education to their fellow community members.
