How are we involved?
01
Recognizing the plight of refugees in Uganda, we aim to address the challenges refugees face, particularly in accessing healthcare and other essential services. With Uganda hosting more than 1.7 million refugees, a significant portion encounters difficulties accessing health care alongside other social justice needs. Refugees, among the most vulnerable, often navigate disjointed healthcare systems, exacerbating their hardships.
02
Through collaboration with development and implementation partners, Guild Digital Foundation has developed a digital solution tailored to the unique circumstances of refugees. Currently operational in five settlements, our app empowers volunteer Community Health Workers (CHWs) to report crucial healthcare data directly from more than 16000 refugee households. By leveraging a digital public good, we have streamlined care coordination, data collection and reporting, and bridged the gap in healthcare delivery, ensuring that more than 200,000 refugees have received the attention they deserve.
