Serving marginalized communities by providing preventive and sustainable health & relief programming.
Who is Braveheart?
Braveheart is a humanitarian organization that serves marginalized communities by providing preventive and sustainable health and relief programming.
Braveheart has a mission to promote health education, equitable health services, and sustainable health programming to underserved and marginalized communities worldwide. Acute medical, vision, dental, women’s health, and podiatry are the specialties that are provided in the free medical clinics.
OUR HISTORY
Since the inception of Braveheart in 2014, over seven thousand villagers have been impacted with free health services during the annual medical missions. Braveheart foundation uses minimal funding and resources to impact many by providing mass drug administration and in-depth health education in the most desolate villages of Uganda.
LOCAL EFFORTS
Working on the frontlines as a nurse in posts across the country, our founder, Erica Rogers, knew early in the pandemic that the highly transmissible COVID-19 was disproportionately affecting the black community at home and worldwide. In 2020 and 2021, when international travel came to a halt, we quickly shifted our attention to the needs at home with COVID-19 Testing, Vaccinations, and following Hurricane Ida, storm clean-up and disaster relief.
“Braveheart has done a very wonderful thing for us. They have treated about 700 patients in this location alone.”
