Medical Camp 2025: Bringing Healthcare to Slum communities

At Vijana Heavens Foundation, it’s deeply fulfilling to see something go from an idea to reality, a reality aiming to ensure that all people especially children in the slum communities where we work are health and thriving. We are thrilled to share with you the success of our recent medical camp, held on 26th of April, 2025 at our offices in Nansana. This event was not only aimed to providing free health services to the underserved community, but also to address the pressing health needs of children and families, thereby promoting their overall well-being and thriving.

In partnership with local leaders especially the Village Health Team (VHT) and dedicated medical professionals, we offered a range of services, including free medical consultations, health screenings, dental care, deworming, and health education and counseling to over 300 people in the slum community where we work.

One of the grateful mothers shared, “My little girl had been struggling with a decayed tooth for over a month, and I didn’t have the resources to take her to the dentist. I thank God, my daughter has been treated today, free of charge. Thank you, Vijana Heavens Foundation, for bringing these vital services to our community.”

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our donors, partners, and volunteers who made this medical camp a reality. Your support has enabled us to bring essential healthcare services to those who need them most. We plan to continue providing regular medical outreach programs, expanding our services to reach more communities in need. With your ongoing support, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable children and families.

Thank you for being part of our journey to create a healthier, thriving community.

Sheilah is a servant leader who is passionate about creating a world where every child regardless of his/her background has equal access to quality education. Growing up in desperate poverty, Sheilah had limited access to education, even though her single mother tried to find some piece of work of selling vegetables on the roadside, her monthly income couldn’t stretch enough to provide all the needs of her six poor children including paying their school fees on time. When Sheilah got a chance to step in class, she put all her effort to learning and be the best in her class and was able to get a full bursary as the best student every term which reduced on the risk of being sent back home for school fees which increased her chances of having a brighter future through education. After successfully completing high school, Sheilah decided to dedicate her time to help children struggling in their studies to catch up in math and literacy.
