Newborns are perhaps the most vulnerable population the world over. Preterm or babies born too early, less than 37 weeks gestation, are particularly at risk. Currently, prematurity is the leading cause of death among under five around the world, and a leading cause of disability and ill health later in life.
In UGANDA 223.000 babies are born too soon each year and 9.830 children under five die due to direct preterm complications
Infant mortality rate in Uganda is 67 children per 1,000. In Spain, 3 per 1,000.
Viral diseases of all types and seriousness, derived from a lack of hygiene and medical social structure ravage Uganda day after day. AIDS spreads across the country, killing thousands of people each year. People who practice s*x without any precautions, abandoned mothers with an average of 6 children, gender violence, alcoholism and many other scourges make childhood a nightmare that, in many cases, has an early end.

WHY VOLUNTEERING?
With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering can be enormous. Volunteering offers vital help to people in need, worthwhile causes, and the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer. The right match can help you to find friends, connect with the community, learn new skills, and even advance your career.
Giving to others can also help protect your mental and physical health. It can reduce stress, combat depression, keep you mentally stimulated, and provide a sense of purpose. While it’s true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you’ll experience, volunteering doesn’t have to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving in even simple ways can help those in need and improve your health and happiness.

I’MPROVE PHYSIOTHERAPHY FOUNDATION
After the first trip to Kabale (Uganda), the team of volunteer physiotherapists at the foundation realized the deficiencies that existed in the area, both material and professional, and also the importance of promoting therapeutic prevention.
“Unfortunately, in developing countries there are very few physiotherapists, and specialized physiotherapy does not even exist, so it is necessary a commitment from everyone to spread this knowledge to the rest of the world.”
Miguel de la Pegna (Foundation’s physiotherapist)
The Uganda Project arises from that trip made in 2020. Based on the pillars of health and sport, I’MPROVE aims to build a clinic in Kabale to offer health care and training to local professionals ( physiotherapists, doctors, podiatrists, nurses, midwives...) collaborating with the local hospital in the area and thus achieving the operational independence of the clinic, generating a great positive impact on the local population.
Malnutrition, lack of training and professionals, lack of technical means and adverse conditions in the country in general causes in many cases neurological pathologies that lead many children to suffer physical disabilities that end up leading to social exclusion, thus conditioning the rest of their lives.
