OUR HISTORY

Health Child was started in 2006 as a Community Based Organization operating in one district in Uganda and in 2012 obtained a non-government organization status and has implemented activities in Uganda since then. Health Child was born out of the need to improve the health status of children in Uganda by reaching out to their immediate caregivers who are usually mothers, hence the name Health Child.
In 2021, in order to continue being relevant and for the need for a more sustainable and productive engagement, Health Child registered another brand called Green Yields Farm with the goal of reaching out to small holder farmers with approximately two parcels of agricultural land measuring 0.8 hectares each with financial services including financial literacy, agro-input financing, productive asset financing as well as agricultural extension services and promoting formation of self-help groups. The current strategy of Health Child and Green Yields is to service impact 150,000 people represented by 20,000 caregivers, creating employment for approximately 30,000 people within a period of 10 years.
