Community Outreach
Every November, our pupils, teachers and administration visit Budaka Health Centre IV to share care, comfort and practical gifts with patients, new mothers and their babies.
This year’s outreach: Thursday, 5th November 2026
Teaching kindness by practising it
Axis Nursery Day and Boarding Primary School in Budaka Town Council believes that a good education includes a good heart. Each November, the whole school community visits Budaka Health Centre IV to bring physical items, emotional comfort and solidarity to families who need it most.
For our pupils it is a lesson no classroom can teach: that what we have is worth sharing, and that a visit, a smile and a small gift can lift someone’s day. We invite parents, alumni, businesses and well-wishers anywhere in the world to stand with us.
- Who: School administration, staff and pupils
- Where: Budaka Health Centre IV, Budaka
- What: Care packages, comfort and company
Three ways the outreach makes a difference
Supporting Sickle Cell Patients
Budaka District carries a significant burden of sickle cell disease. Families living with this inherited condition face emotional, physical and financial strain. Our visit offers encouragement and helps break the rural stigma that so often surrounds it.
Aiding the Children’s Ward
For children in hospital with acute or long-term illness, we bring care packages with basic hygiene items, nutritional support and comforting essentials, along with something to play with.
Welcoming Newborns
Our community visits the maternity and neonatal areas and gifts new mothers with basic baby necessities, so that every newborn has a dignified start in life.
Caring, together
How you can take part
Every gift, big or small, goes straight to the families we visit.
