community work programme
 |
|
TRC believes that handouts create a
welfare culture and so the Centre has never provided services for
free. However, many people in the village and surrounding catchment
area cannot afford to pay for health and education services with
Ugandan shillings.

Tekera Health Clinic

Tekera Health Clinic was the first
service offered by TRC when it opened in January 2006. The Clinic
began with outdoor needs assessment and treatment sessions on the
grounds of the centre, before the clinic was built. After 5 months
of these weekly clinics the permanent building was opened on June
27th 2006 and began receiving patients on a daily basis.
