Since 2016, STACC has supported the cost of running the Children’s Ward at St. John’s Hospital at Aber, in the north of Uganda. The ward admits about 4000 children annually and STACC’s contribution amounts to around 50% of the annual cost, including staff wages, medicines, laundry and other supplies. The main issues treated are malaria, upper respiratory tract infections, and poor nutrition.

From the latest report : 
"The children who benefited from your support from October-December 2025 received lifesaving treatment, nutritious meals, and compassionate care.  Although financial challenge has persisted, your contribution has enabled us to provide essential medicines, ensuring timely treatment for illnesses like malaria and other complicated cases, offer therapeutic food and nutrition programs, helping malnourished children recover and thrive. Your generosity has made a tangible difference in the lives of these children and their families" 
"The impact of your kindness is felt and experienced in our hospital through children who might have faced dire outcomes now recovering, laughing, and dreaming big."
