About Us

Mwenya Uganda is a not-for-profit Non Governmental Organisation in Uganda, set up in 2010 in response to the extremely sparse and poor levels of dental and medical care in rural areas of Uganda. The organisation is made up of unpaid volunteers, a Ugandan team of over 100 professionals and non-professionals.

Mwenya Uganda works in areas that have very poor access to healthcare. Because the team on the ground are all from the local area, Mwenya Uganda always puts the needs of Ugandan people first, every time. We are a Ugandan non-profit organisation, therefore we are not looking to instate Western values and methods in an African nation. The team in the UK work to facilitate the work of the team in Uganda through fundraising, publicity and equipment sourcing. Mwenya Uganda believes that this is the most efficient way to bring about positive, culturally sensitive change.

The organisation works to show the reality of the situation in Uganda, as a country full of culture, smiles and hospitality, yet also publicising the need for sustainable, efficient help. We believe health is not just about being physically well. We believe that health is also about mental, emotional, economic and social comfort. For this reason our volunteering teams in Uganda include individuals from all professions, backgrounds and walks of life. All our volunteers have one aspect in common; they want to bring a smile (mwenya) to the faces of vulnerable Ugandans.
