Hospice Jinja - "Do as much as we can, as well as we can, as long as can, for as many as we can."  2010 Motto and Challenge

Ten Eighteen started working with Hospice Jinja in March of 2010. The hospice is one of only 5 in the country, and most Ugandans have never heard of the concept. With a staff of 6 full timers, Hospice Jinja services a disctrict with over 8 million people, funded 95% by donations from overseas. To date we have brought medical supplies and clothing, are providing funds for the purchase of the fuel each month, and have recently begun funding a community day care twice a month. In the day care, which is done out in villages, patients are fed lunch, taught a topic of interest, and also taught a craft to help bring in money for their families. We purchased 50 beautiful paper bead necklaces to give as gifts to donors who specify the hospice in their correspondence. 100% of those donations will be given back to them!
