The Panyadoli Health Center, located at the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement in Bweyale, Uganda, provides healthcare services to over 30,000 in the region including 16,000 refugees, comprised of Ugandan IDP’s and Kenyan and Sudanese Refugees, and the greater community of Bweyale with an estimated population of 15,000.
When the Kenyan refugees arrived at the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement in 2008, there was very little support in terms of school fees for their children and there was no provision for a nursery school at the settlement.
RMF’s acupuncture outreach and yoga programs at the Mama Kevina School in Tororo, Uganda, continues to serve those in the community in need of on-going support for post-traumatic stress related complaints. The student population is mostly from Northern Uganda where many children have been affected by ongoing wars, floods and HIV/AIDS. Many of the students' parents were killed by rebels or by AIDS and left as orphans. Two of the boys at Mama Kevina were forced to be children soldiers.
