TOGETHER, WE ARE A LIFE GIVING PRESENCE
We Provide Health Care
The House that Love Built
WE've MAdE A GIANT IMPACT
Together, we built Tender Mercies. A home for abandoned children in Uganda who can now say, that they have a family, a future and for the first time, their own bed.
Water is Life
We operate sickle cell clinics and provide ongoing medication to over 400 children in villages surrounding Tender Mercies Home. Our vision clinics have helped over 2,000 people by providing much-needed reading glasses. Additionally, we offer education on hygiene and nutrition to promote healthier families.
AIDSPIRIT USA is bringing clean water to thousands of families in Uganda by drilling new deep water wells. Equally impactful, we’ve developed innovative methods to repair abandoned wells in seven villages, restoring access to clean water for countless communities.​
Education
We’ve provided education to over 100 children and 80 adults, with 19 children from Tender Mercies successfully graduating from university or vocational school and securing meaningful employment.
Many of our students are supported through scholarships funded by individual AIDSPIRIT members, and we are actively seeking additional sponsors.
Teach a Child to Grow
AIDSPIRIT USA has aquired land and is creating a "permaculture" to teach skills and create a self sustainable farm and future for Tender Mercies. We're fundraising for Phase 2 now!
