Who We Are

After working for 3 years and seeing how the communities were exceedingly forgotten in terms of Healthcare, Education, Income and Conservation, a group of 20 youth led by Mr. Deus Mwijuke pulled their meager savings together and formed a Community Based Organisation called Health Vision Agency-Uganda aimed at raising funds from the well wishers to use it in addressing challenges faced in Healthcare, Education, Poverty and Conservation in these forgotten communities in Uganda starting with the rural Kiruhura and Kamwenge Districts.
The Agency aims at creating long-term, self-sustaining projects that enrich the livelihoods of local communities, promote the conservation of the environment, Health and Educated Communities.
