“Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work”. Mother Teresa

This year, PCAU launched the initiative to create the pioneer compassionate community in Uganda. Our initiative of the compassionate community is rooted in a health promotion approach to palliative care, aiming to support solidarity among community members at the end of life. Its to empower ‘community to support community’. We will raise consciousness among the people of Lweza Zone B in Wakiso district to recognize the power they have and how they can all work together to address the issues of caregiving, grief, and bereavement that affect them. The need for palliative care is universal. PCAU is working with Taibah International School and the Lweza Community Health Program to deliver this important initiative.
