Each program at GUKIRA is driven by a shared purpose to restore mobility, dignity, and hope, one person at a time.
Sarah, 72, from Uganda, lost one of her legs several years ago after an untreated infection. She usually rents a wheelchair from her local hospital, but when it’s unavailable, even simple daily tasks become difficult. Through GUKIRA’s support, Sarah received a pair of walking sticks that help her stay mobile and independent. While moving around uneven ground remains challenging, the assistance has restored her confidence.
We provide wheelchairs, crutches, and walking sticks to enhance accessibility.
We extend rehabilitation support to underserved communities through outreach and partnerships.
At 70 years old, Samson Kapalaga lives alone in his modest home. Once strong and active, he lost his sight after an untreated eye infection led to the loss of his second eye. Alongside his visual impairment, Samson continues to face mental health challenges that make daily life even more difficult. GUKIRA’s goal is to ensure Samson receives regular medical care and therapy to support both his physical and emotional wellbeing.
