Medical Care

Regular medical care, including treatment for malaria and parasites, is provided for the orphans by Living Springs Church. Currently they receive donations to cover that cost; however, their donation source will only last through the end of the year. In order to provide an ongoing source of income, ABIDE has secured a piece of property where a multiplex home can be built to collect rent. This will provide a continuous source of income that will be used to provide medical treatment.

Living Spring Church does not desire to be dependent on Western support. As they survey the resources, opportunities and gifts God has already given them, Living Spring leaders have identified real estate as a pathway to increased self-sustainability. Located in a part of Uganda that has seen huge amounts of foreign investment in recent years, land and housing prices are on an upward trajectory. A multiplex, considered upper-middle class living in Uganda, would net enough income to cover the medical costs of the church’s orphan population, effectively removing reliance on Western support in this area and freeing those funds up for other investment.

Did you know: Living Spring Church has a medical clinic on its campus. But how does Living Spring Church know when one of its 500 orphans needs care, and how does it get these kids to the clinic? For the answer to that question, Read John’s Story.
