Welcome to 'Friends of Kagando' The UK based support charity for
Kagando Hospital and Rural Development Centre
Kasese District - Western Uganda
KAGANDO Rural Development Centre (KARUDEC) is
a health care and education project managed by the Church of Uganda
based around Kagando Hospital (250 beds).
Kagando lies in the South-Eastern foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains on a small West-facing hill looking out across a fertile valley, 20 km from the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo and 5 km North of the Equator. On the other side the hill looks out towards the Western Rift Valley with the nearby Queen Elisabeth National Park and the Kizinga Channel linking Lake George and Lake Edward.
Friends of Kagando, set up in 2003,is a UK based charity (Number 1100302) with past long-term workers at Kagando and regular visitors as Trustees. The charity aims to support Kagando by raising funds and sending equipment and to encourage friends and colleagues working there by correspondence and visits from people with clinical, technical, management, educational, pastoral and fund-raising expertise. Administration costs are low. Transfers of accountable funds are direct to the leadership in Kagando. It maintains a newsletter mailing list and is always looking for partners to support what we believe has become a 'centre of excellence' in Rural Uganda.
