Global Health &
Safari Fellowship

About the Fellowship

The Global Health & Safari Fellowship is rooted in the Christian conviction that every person is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and therefore worthy of dignity, compassion, and care. For followers of Christ, caring for the sick and vulnerable is both a professional responsibility and a sacred calling.

Through this fellowship, health professionals and students are invited to offer their time, skills, and experience in service to underserved communities in Uganda. In doing so, participants seek to live out Christ’s call to love our neighbors and to serve “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40), demonstrating compassion, humility, and love in action.

Rooted in Faith. Grounded in Service

Alongside Local Clinicians

Ugandan health professionals lead patient care; we come to serve and strengthen, not replace.

Christ-Centred Foundation

Guided by Christian values of humility, integrity, and respect for every life created in God’s image
