The Healthy Vine Trust is a registered Dutch charitable organisation and a Ugandan NGO, whose principal objective is the reduction of Malaria, particularly in children under the age of 5. We are a Christian organisation that grew out of the relationship between the Anglican Church in the Netherlands and the Church of Uganda in Luwero and continues to work closely with both churches.
It is active in rural areas in Uganda, aiming to raise the level of health and sanitation, nutritional dietary education, and delivery of clean water. It also is involved in the distribution of mosquito nets, development of small- scale, co-operative agricultural projects, training in pre and post natal care, building or refurbishing schools and other related projects.

The Healthy Vine Trust advocates Sustainability as an essential aspect in its community health programme to promote education, training, community involvement, control and ownership.

The essential ingredients for success -  personal involvement and close guidance combined with traditional skills, modern technology and expertise are all adopted and integrated. The strategies are long term, not quick fix remedies. Health measures are based on preventative means which are both affordable and manageable while the methods for self reliance require forward planning, assuming personal responsibility and full accountability.

Vision & Mission
We help with making safer and better health care, improved sanitation and clean water accessible, wherever necessary, thus leading to an overall increase in the standards of living and wellbeing.  Through sustained grass-root training and education as well as different economically viable local projects, a sense of personal responsibility emerges, resulting in taking charge and making informed decisions, in the interest of the entire community. We believe in ‘learning by doing’ and aim to help rural communities assume ownership of their homegrown abilities and powers.

The logo
John 15
Inspired by a Biblical image, our logo ‘translates’ into the “Healthy Vine” that will bear fruit – which will then yield good wine. All our projects in Luwero are based on this holistic approach: we believe that by helping establish a healthy, robust system, there will be growth, there will be fruit & there will be a sustainable future for the rural communities we work with.
