WHAT WE DO
We visited katate health center in March 2014 during our trip to another mission hospital in south-western Uganda. We investigated the existing infrastructure of the katate health center and examined the potential of the existing facilities.
Together with an african architect we designed a simple, purpose orientated, full functional operating theater with one main operating room and two wound dressing rooms suitable for minor
operations.
We will supervise the construction of the operation theater personally throughout the construction phase.
The project is a non-profit initiative and based on fund-raising. The money and cash-flow between Germany and Uganda will be officially supervised and managed by the german protestant church of
Eppingen (see banc connection below).
our project is supported by "Bread for the World" -
