New Hope Christmas Food Drive

Giving is not just about making a donation it is about making a difference.

Most of the children staying at our cancer hostel will not be able to go home for Christmas this year.

Cancer does not stop for holidays.

This Food Drive is to make sure that we have enough food over the festive season, as it is vital that the children keep up their strength to manage their cancer treatment. So, that next Christmas they will be able to spend it with their families. 

It can be difficult to know how to help people in need. We have a couple of suggestions on how you can help:

  1. If you live locally in Uganda, and want to donate food items, call 770984507 or 701702601 or email info@kawempehomecare.org. for details.
  2. If you wish to make a monetary contribution you can through GlobalGiving as the New Hope hostel project is listed at Help Poor Children with Cancer to Access Treatment – GlobalGiving
  3. To really give a gift that will not be regifted and keep on giving, why not buy a GlobalGiving Gift card at GlobalGiving – Gift Cards.

Our project name is Help Poor Children with Cancer to Access Treatment – GlobalGiving

Christmas is the spirit of Giving and even though we can’t help everyone, everyone can help someone.

KHC would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our supporters who throughout the year, have been there for us. Thank you and God Bless.

Wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2024.

 

Sad Passing of Dr. Samuel Guma 

There has been an incredible sense of loss with the passing of Dr. Samuel Guma, our Executive Director and Co-Founder of KHC. He had been battling cancer for the past couple of years and passed away on Friday 8 December.

Our prayers and thoughts are with Gloria and the boys, his family and friends during this very difficult time. The world is a poorer place without him.

Dr. Sam was a visionary, and his compassion was to help people who were disadvantaged and unable to access medical support. This, together with his friends, led to the founding of Kawempe Home Care in 2007.

KHC provides holistic care to patients in the community with HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and cancer and continues to make an enormous difference to so many people’s lives.

Dr. Sam was passionate about palliative care and providing support to people who could not access treatment. In 2016, the New Hope Children’s hostel opened for children with cancer, particularly for those families from poor rural communities, who otherwise would not have been able to afford the access to treatment for their children. The partnership with UCI has been invaluable and Dr Sam was very proud of what they have been able to achieve.

The Palliative Care Association of Uganda extolled him for playing such a remarkable role in improving the cancer survival rate amongst children with cancer.

Dr. Sam always made time for patients and provided guidance and leadership to the KHC team.

He touched so many people’s lives and will be sadly missed.

It is up to all of us to continue the important work that Dr. Samuel Guma started.

Rest In Peace Dr. Sam.

 It is important that we continue the good work of KHC. Mr. Gerever Niwagaba, who has been Acting Executive Director and is also a Co-Founder, will continue in this role. You have any queries you can contact him by email at gniwagaba@kawempehomecare.org or mobile number is +256 782959683.
