Mama Kevina Comprehensive Secondary School Project, Tororo, Uganda

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.

Mama Kevina staff, trained by Real Medicine, provides over 2,000 NADA acupuncture treatments a year to help alleviate post-traumatic stress for the students and local youths in the surrounding slums. Treatments are also made available at no cost to the general populations of Tororo and Malaba at the Uganda/Kenya border, and at Lira Nursing School in northern Uganda.
