December 2026 in Kampala. A fundraising concert for kidney care, held with Cedar Park at Kigo, Munyonyo Road.
Event details
What the initiative is doing, what it is planning, and what we are learning about kidney care in Uganda.
The initiative is working with Cedar Park on an annual fundraising concert in December 2026, at Kigo on Munyonyo Road in Kampala. The evening brings live music together with the case for affordable kidney care, and the proceeds go to the dialysis programme.
Organisations that would like to sponsor the evening, and performers who would like to take part, can reach the initiative on +256 760 516 815.
The renal clinic and haemodialysis programme has been running under SAS Lweza Clinic in Seguku. It now operates as an initiative in its own right, with its own accounts.
SAS Lweza Clinic remains the clinical partner where treatment is delivered. The initiative raises and applies the funds that pay for subsidised treatment.
Kidney failure is often spoken about as a final verdict. In many cases it is not. Acute kidney injury can resolve, and kidney function can recover, when the cause is found and treated early. Chronic kidney disease caught in its earlier stages can be slowed, and in many patients dialysis is never reached.
The outcome depends on how early a person reaches care. The initiative funds screening in the community alongside the dialysis programme.
Anyone with concerns about their kidneys should speak to the clinic on +256 760 516 815.
The initiative is planning community education events on kidney health, covering the causes of kidney disease, the warning signs, and where to go for screening.
Organisations and community groups who would like to host one can contact the initiative.
The initiative is seeking sponsors, corporate and individual, for the dialysis programme, and counts that sponsorship in treatments rather than in totals. Forty dollars sponsors one dialysis session for a patient in need, one hundred and twenty dollars sponsors weekly sessions, and four hundred and eighty dollars sponsors monthly sessions.
The initiative also intends to approach the Kidney Foundation of Uganda about working together on screening and public education.
These items are recent reports from external publishers and research databases. They are not announcements by the initiative.
Forty dollars pays for one session for a patient who cannot meet the cost.
