Give the Gift of Health and Hope in Bwindi for
Christmas

Seasons Greetings from Bwindi Community Hospital.

For Christmas this year, buy your friends and family a gift that makes a difference. Give the gift of health, opportunity, and hope to someone much less fortunate living in Uganda. Instead of a DVD, give a mosquito net. Instead of a tie, provide food for a malnourished child. Instead of an iPod, give a pregnant woman a safe delivery. What the world needs is not another thing, but another person doing caring things.

All money from Bwindi Community Hospital Christmas Gifts goes directly to the Hospital - helping us to help some of the poorest people in Uganda have the opportunity that many of us already have- to live a healthy and productive life.

When you purchase a gift from the list below, we’ll send you a card within 24 hours, which you can then give as a gift. The card explains how the gift that has been given will help improve the lives of families in Bwindi. Please visit our website to preview the cards for each gift: www.bwindihospital.com
