Under the 2026 RTH Annual Camp theme, “Growing Stronger Together,” the children are on a meaningful journey of connection, confidence-building, and personal growth.

Through well-guided group engagements, they are learning the value of teamwork, mutual respect, and supporting one another within a safe and nurturing environment strengthening relationships and reinforcing a strong sense of community.

Educational sessions on confidence and self-esteem, combined with hands-on activities such as bangle making and other indoor and outdoor practical sessions, are nurturing creativity and innovation. These experiences are helping the children discover their individual strengths, build confidence to share their ideas and talents, and develop a stronger sense of self-belief clear evidence of the camp’s positive impact on their personal development.

👉 Join us in empowering child caregivers support, partner, or follow our journey as we continue to grow stronger together.

Today, the Palliative Care Association of Uganda (PCAU), through its Road to Hope (RTH) Programme for child caregivers, officially begins the RTH Annual Camp 2026 at Kid Pioneer School, Kawuku under the Theme .

The child caregivers programme supports children from impoverished families who, due to illness within their families, take on caregiving roles for their parents or guardians. These children often provide physical care, emotional support, household management, and decision-making beyond their age, which can affect their emotional wellbeing, education, and social development. The RTH program seeks to restore hope by addressing their psychosocial needs and equipping them with skills to navigate these responsibilities in healthier ways.

The camp provides a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment enabling the children to connect, share experiences, and feel empowered through guided psychosocial support sessions and engaging indoor and outdoor activities. The children are supported to build life skills, confidence, resilience, self-awareness, and positive peer relationships, while also learning practical ways to cope with difficult situations they face at home and in their communities.

In partnership with GEN–Uganda, and Hospices, PCAU continues its commitment to creating safe spaces where children can learn, heal, and grow stronger together.

Universal Health Coverage is only universal when palliative care is accessible to everyone who needs it, when they need it. No one should face serious illness alone or in pain.

On this World UHC Day, and in a year when unaffordable health costs continue to burden our communities, PCAU reaffirms that palliative care is not a luxury but an essential service that upholds dignity, promotes equity, and improves the quality of life for patients and their families.

On Friday, officially opened the Dr. Anne Merriman Memorial Room. As PCAU, we celebrate this tremendous milestone and honour a woman whose life transformed the face of palliative care. Dr. Anne believed deeply that no one should live or die in pain. With courage and compassion, she challenged injustice, influenced policy change, and inspired thousands to serve with empathy and dignity.

Her passing marked the end of an era, yet her legacy continues to live on in every patient who receives relief and comfort, and in the hearts of those she trained and mentored. Her spirit remains a guiding light reminding us each day of her timeless message: palliative care is a human right.

This memorial room stands as a testament to her vision, her unwavering dedication, and the countless lives she touched. Through this space, her life’s mission continues to shine brightly for generations to come.
