Ken Landry Memorial Hospital
Every mother deserves a safe place to give birth. Every child deserves medical care from people who care about them.
A place of healing. A refuge of hope.
For many of the families we serve, neither is guaranteed. Some are mothers who fled violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Some are Batwa families. Some are the children in our Seeds of Hope programs. Through Ken Landry Memorial Hospital, Hope Ministries Uganda is working to change that.
A hospital building on five acres in Ntungamo, Uganda, valued at $250,000, has been donated to this work. We see this gift as God’s provision and the start of a new chapter for these families.
The building is here. Now we need your help getting it ready for patients.
When war doesn’t stop, birth doesn’t stop either
For mothers fleeing conflict in eastern DRC, pregnancy is more dangerous than it should be. When women are displaced, they often lose access to medical care. Many give birth without a trained attendant, clean supplies, or a safe place to deliver.
Some arrive with physical and emotional wounds from sexual violence. Others are about to have a baby far from home, with no idea what comes next.
We want these mothers to find safety, skilled care, and dignity, and to be welcomed with kindness when they and their babies need it most.
Care for vulnerable families
Ken Landry Memorial Hospital is being developed to provide:
Maternity and newborn care: Safe deliveries, care for newborns, and emergency C-sections once the hospital is equipped and staffed.
Ambulance transportation: Planned transport for pregnant women in danger, bringing them from border areas, refugee settlements, and displaced communities to the care they need.
Care for survivors of sexual violence: Medical treatment and emotional support that treat each woman with dignity.
Free care for the Batwa: Medical care for a community that has faced poverty, discrimination, and barriers to treatment for generations.
Free care for Seeds of Hope children: Medical care for the children in our programs.
Counseling and spiritual support: Prayer, counseling, and encouragement in the hope of Jesus Christ, offered alongside medical care.
We want to care for the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.
Honoring Ken Landry’s legacy
Ken Landry was a faithful missionary friend, and supporter of this ministry. He loved the people affected by war in DRC and Uganda.
His generosity helped plant churches, train pastors, provide Bibles, and share the gospel in communities living through conflict. He wanted to see lives changed by Jesus and peace return to places that had known violence.
The hospital that bears his name will carry that compassion forward by welcoming vulnerable families, caring for mothers and babies, and offering hope to people in hard circumstances.
Help us open the doors
Phase One Goal: $100,000
The donated building is a remarkable start. To become a working hospital, it needs medical equipment, supplies, trained staff, and reliable operations.
Our Phase One goal is $100,000 to equip the hospital and launch essential services, including:
Maternity beds, mattresses, and delivery supplies
Newborn care equipment, including baby warmers
An ultrasound machine
Operating theater equipment for emergency C-sections
X-ray equipment
Ambulance fuel, supplies, and initial operations
Every gift brings us closer to welcoming our first patients.
