Irene Watpool

In March 2024 I will be returning to Uganda with The Canada Africa Community Health Alliance (CACHA) to be part of a medical mission. CACHA is a non-government organization whose mission is to improve health for rural communities through partnerships to facilitate programs for disease prevention, treatment, care, support, and education.

The main objective of this mission is to see local patients, improve their access to basic health care, and provide good quality treatment and disease prevention methods. The health care team includes doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and logistical support volunteers. As a nurse I will be working beside the local health care team to provide care to the community.

Funds are used for a variety of mission-related expenses, including medical/dental care, medications and medical supplies, lab supplies and logistics support, guides and translation services, etc. Volunteer participation is self-funded. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated and will be put to very good use in support of my contribution to this cause. CACHA is a registered charity and issues tax receipts.

The individuals on these pages are raising funds in support of CACHA’s mission. The funds are given to CACHA to defray the costs of participation in, and supplies for, the mission, and not for the personal benefit of any participant. CACHA retains control over the use of all donated funds. Once the needs for the program have been met, or cannot be completed for any reason, any remaining contributions will be used where needed most.
