Overview

Mission

Through targeted projects and funding, we enhance the hospital's infrastructure, improve healthcare services, and support vital programs for staff and patient care, helping mengo hospital serve its community with quality and compassion.

What it reported doing in 2025

The mission of mhp is to support the sustainability and growth of mengo hospital, kampala, uganda. For the last 40 years, members of our board have worked with the doctors and nurses of mengo to build a dental clinic, water treatment tools, housing and other essential services. We have been working closely with the mengo hospital leadership and pediatric specialists to understand the hospital's pediatric and larger infrastructure needs. While there are speciality hospitals in and around entebbe, there is no one facility or "children's hospital" that has the capacity to both diagnose and create a plan for treatment for a child. As a result, families get pushed from one clinic to the next without clear oversight from doctors and this process quickly becomes prohibitively expensive and hard to navigate.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
