Step Up Uganda is a
small all-volunteer organization that engages members of the local community
who have suffered through 20 years of war with the Lord's Resistance Army to
rebuild their community, to heal from the trauma of war and poverty and to
develop the capacity of its medical providers to prevent and reduce infant and
maternal mortality. The organization is located in an impoverished region with
few resources and many threats to health and well-being, such as malaria, dysentery,
dengue fever. The computers are being used by local health workers to access
up-to-date health information.
