Women’s Health Foundation (WHF) was founded by Ms. Irene Ndagire, the Executive Director, having had experience in the challenges women went through in their life cycle while working as a Physiotherapist at Kampala International Hospital which inspired her to come up with an initiative that would give women information and make them proactive in seeking to live healthier lives. WHF has a belief that “Women have a Fundamental Right to Live without Shame or Limitations”.
We officially started our work in October 2013 and registered as a National NGO under the NGO statute CAP.113 in December 2014 with registration number: INDR115052596NB and file number: MIA/NB/2014/12/2596. WHF activities are in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 3 of Ensuring Healthy Lives and promoting wellbeing for all at all ages.
Women’s Health Foundation rides on the support of its stakeholders and employs a holistic bottom-up approach to programming and activity implementation. Our choice to prioritize women’s health is a noble cause worth supporting and our mission of “Celebrating a Healthy Woman” is a divine mission that requires the will and commitment of not only Uganda as a nation but the entire global concern of everybody that cares about the woman as the root of life. WHF has done a tremendous job of assisting old women who can’t afford Physiotherapy services. WHF works with Sonia Physiotherapy a sport, spinal, and orthopaedic rehabilitation practice. With the aim to treat the cause of the patient's problem and not only the symptoms concerned.
Patients are given the "tools" and means to re-gain their pre-injury and functional status as well as to maintain and make long-term improvements. Sonia has got a team of professionals with extensive experience in the treatment and management of chronic pain and spinal injuries. And one of their goals is to help patients manage pain, restore optimal function and improve their quality of life.
It is our call for the unwavering support of every one that can come to the realization of our vision for the benefit of women.
