Our Villages

Ourganda operates two mobile medical clinics that serve six villages. Our team selected villages where the need is greatest, places where few have ever received health education or seen a medical professional.

We adopted our first three villages when Ourganda started in January 2018. The village names are Kitsolima II, Sarahihombya, and Kinyante IV.

 

in July 2019, we added three more villages: Karangoti, Bulyambaya, and Bubandi II.

Bubandi II has 500 people in 80 families.
