What We Do
Stroke Foundation Uganda
Building a Stroke-Smart and Compassionate Uganda
We are Stroke Foundation Uganda—a registered non-profit organization born out of a deep need to support stroke survivors, educate communities, and strengthen the fight against stroke across Uganda. Founded in 2014 and officially registered in 2017, our journey began as a small support group and has grown into a national movement of survivors, caregivers, health professionals, and volunteers working together to reduce the impact of stroke.
At the heart of our mission is the belief that no one should face stroke alone. We work to provide survivors with hope, access to care, emotional support, and the tools they need to live fulfilling lives after stroke. We also train caregivers, empower communities with knowledge, and advocate for better healthcare systems and policies.
Everything we do is shaped by compassion, resilience, and the unshakable will to restore dignity and independence to stroke survivors—one life at a time.
