This location is approximately 60 kilometres (37 mi), by road, north of Mulago National Referral Hospital, in Kampala, the capital and largest city of Uganda.

[7] In 2006, the clinic was affiliated with the Just Like My Child Foundation (JLMCF), a San Diego–based non-profit, which raised US$30,000 for a diesel generator.

[8] Besides attending to the health needs of the community, JLMCF became active in the surrounding villages, building schools and working with families and community leaders to start self-sustaining farming businesses, and holding workshops to teach life-skills and mentor more than 1,300 adolescent girls in 12 villages.

[8] JLMCF has been able to establish a community health insurance plan, serving over 18,000 individuals.

The Uganda Ministry health designated the facility as a "hospital" from "clinic", following the acquisition of a laboratory and refrigeration capabilities for blood storage.
