COMPASSION
Healthcare Should Reach Everyone.
Improving access to quality, compassionate, and affordable healthcare for rural communities in Uganda.
Where distance, poverty, and limited resources make healthcare difficult to access, GCHAWO works to bring essential health and wellness services closer to the people who need them most.
Bringing Healthcare Closer to Rural Communities
Illness is universal. Access to healthcare is not.
Grace Community Health & Wellness Organization (GCHAWO) is a community-based nonprofit organization working to improve access to basic healthcare and wellness services for people living in rural communities in Uganda.
Our work focuses on reducing barriers to healthcare by connecting communities with preventive care, health education, clinical support, telemedicine, and other essential services.
We believe that where someone lives, how much they earn, or how far they are from a health facility should not determine whether they receive the care they need.
OUR MISSION
Empowering Communities Through Health.
To provide access to healthcare services and empower community members to take charge of their health and well-being.
OUR VISION
A Healthier Future for Rural Communities.
To provide healthcare and wellness for people living in rural communities in Uganda by enabling timely access to basic healthcare services.

Grace Nassanga – MSN, RN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
Grace is a psychiatric Nurse Practitioner(PMHNP) in the United States who is passionate about promoting health and wellness as well as making a difference in people’s lives regardless of their background. Having grown up in Masaka District (Uganda), Grace occasionally visited her home village in Lwannume, where the Grace-CHAWO initiative is established. Growing up, she witnessed people in her community living in intense poverty, which made it difficult for many rural residents to access basic healthcare services.
Grace shares many stories where she witnessed neighbors and friends in her village losing loved ones to preventable illnesses due to limited access to basic health-care services. With her background as a health-care worker, Grace felt a deep sense of commitment to make a difference in rural communities by promoting health and wellness, particularly to the less privileged.
