We founded Empower Through Health two years ago under the belief that no matter who we are or where we come from, there is more that unites us than separates us. Parents all over the world toil to ensure the well-being of their children; we all take solace in the comfort of family and community; the smile and warmth that we feel upon seeing a sunset is shared throughout the world. We all are united by our common humanity and our quest for dignity, companionship, and purpose. We believe that all human life is precious and equal and that we should all be able to live in good health to have agency to determine our futures. However, there are gross inequalities and injustices in the global order. The district in which we work in Uganda, Buyende District, has a population of 363,300 but only one practicing clinical physician. There is nowhere in the district in which patients can obtain blood work. Children routinely die of infectious diseases and perpetually combat untreated parasitic infections and malnutrition. Mothers die from routine childbirth. These facts are unfathomable and unjustifiable in the globalized 21st century, where futuristic treatments are possible in many parts of the world. Drawing upon our intercultural strength, we seek to be advocates and healers for those left out of the global system. In 2019, we gave 8,192 patients medical care and given the upward trend of patients, we expect the number in 2020 to be closer to 12,000 or more giving people previously without access to modern essential medical services. We also conducted vital public health research to inform our work and to advance the frontiers of scientific knowledge in 2019. This organization and this work mean the world not only to the 70,000 people who can access modern healthcare but also to us. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of our work.
