About Us

Transforming lives in rural Uganda through compassionate healthcare
since 2004

Our History

Welcome to
RUN Foundation

Since 2004, RUN Foundation has been at the forefront of transforming lives in rural Uganda through voluntary and supported outreach clinics. Our journey began with Dr. Brian Rushaju's early work in northern Uganda during the Joseph Kony insurgence, where he discovered profound oral health needs in internally displaced people's camps (IDPs).

This discovery marked the founding of RUN Dental (Reaching the Unreached Dental Needs), which has since evolved into a comprehensive healthcare mission dedicated to relieving vulnerable communities from pain.

Our Mission

To deliver comprehensive, affordable healthcare to vulnerable communities across Uganda while combining medical excellence with compassionate evangelistic outreach. We are committed to relieving suffering, restoring dignity, and bringing hope through quality health services that address both physical and spiritual needs.

Our Vision

A transformed Uganda where every vulnerable community thrives with access to quality healthcare, sustainable health education, and holistic support. We envision empowered communities where preventable diseases are eliminated, health literacy flourishes, and every individual experiences the healing power of compassionate, Christ-centered care.
