Welcome to Kyetume CBHCP!

Kyetume Community Based Health Care Programme was incepted by Christian Churches of Kyetume Parish to advance initiatives geared toward health and socio-economic development within Kyetume and Mukono District in general in Uganda.

Kyetume CBHCP strives to improve the general health standards of underserved rural people within Mukono District and Uganda at large by influencing behaviour of rural communities using a community based involvement/participatory approach.

The organization is shaped by Christian values as witnessed in the Gospel Commission of Matthew. 4:23 - 25.

Our foremost accomplishment is that our health centre at Kyetume has been declared a Health Centre III by the Uganda Ministry of Health, in which our maternity ward and our use of antiretroviral treatments for patients with HIV/AIDS have been publicly recognized. We are also proud of this health centre’s automation lab. It gives us the capacity to carry out complete blood counts for all types of blood cells and to measure the amount of CD4 cells in an HIV infected person. We also have the means to monitor the functionality of the liver and kidneys. In addition, the Katosi Health Centre has been added to our system and serves as an out post for the Lake Victoria Landing sites in the Ntenjeru Sub-County.

At Kyetume CBHCP, we have a variety of activities that we carry out regularly. As part of our maternal and child health programme, 29 outreach centres are visited every month for immunizations, child growth monitoring, antenatal deworming, and other treatments.

Through the HIV/AIDS prevention and control project, we provide antiretroviral treatments as well as care and support activities for the HIV infected and affected. The water sanitation project includes spring protection, provision of piped water to the Bukasa village, construction of fuel saving stoves, and pump repairs. In addition, we provide food security initiatives to schools and to the community. Organic farming and heifer projects target households with three or more orphans for nutrition and income generation as part of the orphan support programme, which also includes vocational training in tailoring and computer skills.

Through our sexual and reproductive health rights promotion project we conduct Family Life Clubs in schools, which serve as channels for learning life skills and obtaining reproductive health supplies. In addition, we support income generating opportunities for women with HIV/AIDS.
