Yesterday I was in Rubaare, Ntungamo - and the energy was something else. The Rotary Club of @Kigo7LakesGolf & the Kariisa Family brought a full Mega Medical Camp to Rubaare Health Centre IV. Cancer screening. HIV testing. Eye care. Dental. Immunization. Blood donation. All FREE. Today, we commission the Mama Kariisa Maternity Ward. Because proper investment is not just talk, but showing up where it matters most. (1/3)

Baby steps, quite literally. On Thursday, @nbstv covered the delivery of medical equipment to Rubaare Health Centre IV ahead of the March 28 commissioning of the Mama Kariisa Maternity Ward. A gift from the @KKariisa family, in partnership with Rotary Club of @Kigo7LakesGolf. Mothers in the region will soon have the care they deserve. 6/13
