About Us

Health is Wealth Initiative (HIWI Uganda) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of communities across Uganda. We believe that good health is the foundation for sustainable development and prosperity. HIWI focuses on key areas including behavioral change communication, family planning, HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria prevention, nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), community systems strengthening, support for orphans and vulnerable children, economic empowerment, and education.
HIWI operates from its head office in Wakiso, sharing premises with St. Joseph’s Hospital Wakiso. This close partnership enables us to combine community advocacy with clinical services, delivering comprehensive and accessible healthcare. Through collaboration, compassion, and community engagement, HIWI is committed to building healthier, empowered communities for a better Uganda.
