About Croud help

Our mission

To uplift vulnerable populations through access to healthcare, education, sustainable livelihoods, and dignified living conditions, with a special emphasis on women, children, and refugees.

Carewell Projects
1. Rabbit Projects for Sustainable Livelihoods

In the rural villages of West Nile, our Rabbit Breeding Projects have been a game-changer. These projects, aimed at empowering families with a low-cost, high-yield source of nutrition and income, have not only improved the lives of the participants but also the entire community. They are designed especially for widows and single mothers, allowing them to become self-reliant.

2. Quarterly Medical Camps – West Nile & Palisa

Access to healthcare is a fundamental right that many are still deprived of. Our Quarterly Medical Camps in the regions of Uganda are a beacon of hope for hundreds of patients who would otherwise travel miles for a doctor. These camps provide free consultations, basic medicines, maternal check-ups, and vaccinations, often addressing life-threatening conditions that would have gone untreated.

3. Feeding 500 Young Mothers Every Month

Nutrition during and after pregnancy is not a luxury; it's a necessity. Through our Young Mothers Nutrition Program, we serve healthy, balanced meals to over 500 young and undernourished mothers each month, improving maternal and infant health outcomes. Your support can ensure that no mother has to worry about the next meal for her and her baby.

4. Education Support & School Fees Sponsorship

We believe education is the most powerful tool for change. Carewell sponsors school fees, uniforms, and supplies for children from low-income families, enabling them to continue their studies without interruption.

5. Menstrual Health Awareness & Period Poverty

We are actively fighting period poverty by:

  • Conducting Menstrual Health Awareness Workshops in rural schools and communities.
  • Distributing free reusable sanitary pads to girls and women who otherwise miss school or work during menstruation.
  • Working with health educators to break menstrual taboos and promote hygiene.
6. Setting Up a Manufacturing Unit for Reusable Sanitary Pads

To ensure sustainability, we are establishing a manufacturing unit to produce eco-friendly, reusable sanitary pads made from banana fiber. This will combat period poverty and create jobs for local women, adding to community resilience.

7. Refugee Support & Resettlement Programs

We extend holistic support to refugees seeking shelter and dignity in Uganda. Our services include:

  • Free shelter, food, and education for refugee families.
  • Job placement support in local businesses.
  • Legal aid and documentation assistance needed to attain official refugee status.
  • Counseling and guidance through every stage of the resettlement process.
