Meningitis is common and severe in Uganda, yet the vaccines are still scarce. The most affected are children below five years old, but it’s also common in adults. The available medical facilities lack resources to treat the diseases, and there is also limited information about the disease.
Step Up Charity Uganda is a registered grassroots charity that started in 2019, with proven experience in implementing sustainable and innovative projects that are designed to help people in marginalized communities to live better lives. Since our establishment, we have fought to improve the socio-economic situation of vulnerable children, elderly people, youths, Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and women. We are proud to continue supporting them through mitigating the socio-economic causes of their vulnerabilities to enable them live a better, meaningful and sustainable life.
