What the charity does

Friends of Mengo are partners with Mengo Hospital, Kampala, Uganda Republic. Through donations, advice, visits, gifts and prayer, our partnership aims to extend our involvement with all those who are treated, work, or are trained at the hospital. Funds are raised from generous donors, largely in the UK, and allocation is decided through close communication between the committee and Mengo SLT.
