Support ATLAS: Empower Ugandan Communities

ATLAS International Inc (ATLAS) is a US-based nonprofit (501-c3) established in 2013 that supports Ugandan organizations and healthcare centers providing outreach, educational, and health services to their communities.

We believe in ethical, equitable engagement in global health activities, prioritizing the needs of our on-ground partners. Over 2024, we continue to fundraise for our partners, engage in collaborative research and education projects, and build capacity via our partner projects.

Exciting current projects include: supporting the Casa Uganda Foundation to provide education on sexual and reproductive health to girls in primary and secondary school throughout the region (including teaching them how to make sustainable ReUsable Menstrual Pads (RUMPs)); supporting Partnership Development Initiative to provide school access to pre-school children in rural villages; supporting our academic partners at the Mbale Clinical Research Institute (MCRI) in their development and use of a simulation center for trainees; and working with our clinical partners through the Department of Pediatrics to engage in quality improvement initiatives around identification and appropriate management of children with severe diseases, like Sickle Cell Disease, Cerebral Malaria, Severe Malnutrition, Epilepsy, and Severe Pneumonia.

Throughout 2025, we will continue these specific projects while also continuing to facilitate the links between our US-based and Ugandan-based partners, facilitating international exchanges between our partners, and building our academic collaboration between the various universities in the US and MCRI.
