Proposal for financial support Keep a Child Alive seeks funding to purchase the building that houses Alive Medical Services in Kampala, Uganda. The clinic is a model of care in Uganda, providing comprehensive HIV/AIDS treatment, prevention of mother-to-child transmission services, volunteer counseling and testing, nutritional support and surrounding care to a community that would otherwise have no access to treatment. Alive Medical Services currently treats a total of 1,110 patients on anti-retroviral medicine, and 3,376 on chronic care in preparation to begin ARV treatment. The clinic needs to expand to better treat its high number of patients, and Keep a Child Alive wants to continue fostering the clinic’s growth by purchasing the building. The project will begin as soon as funding is secured. The building’s owner is eager to sell the property; therefore, it is important that we are able to purchase it as soon as possible. The project requires $250,000 (Approx 180,000 GB Pounds) to purchase the building and set things in motion to expand Alive Medical Services. The real beauty of investing in this project is that the potential benefits and level of impact are exponential. (1) The building is situated in one of the most densely populated and poorest areas in Uganda, where the clinic’s services are desperately needed. Ownership of the building will guarantee all of the clinic’s patients can continue receiving treatment and care. (2) Ownership will also eliminate rent expenses, and the money saved can be used to enhance the clinic’s many programs. (3) Keep a Child Alive will be able to respond to urgent building matters more immediately and makes improvements as necessary. For example, the building most readily needs additional storage space for food to provide adequate nutritional support for more than 1,000 patients on anti-retroviral treatment. (4) The building also has room to expand to nearby vacant lots, which would greatly increase the number of people it can serve. (5) Ownership of the building will also create new partnership opportunities for Keep a Child Alive and Alive Medical Services, and will ultimately make the clinic self-sustaining. More than 4,000 patients will immediately benefit from the building’s purchase because they will continue to have access to important medical care. Ownership of the building will allow Alive Medical Services to expand its services more quickly, and outreach to an even larger number of people in the immediate community, especially children in need. The project will require additional funding when the clinic outgrows the building and needs to expand its services even further, but the timing and costs for this extension have yet to be determined therefore we would seek the £250.000 donation or part of to complete this project and to maintain staff to implement the project with additional funding to be used for expansion.
