Why $9 Million? It costs $600,000 each year to operate Lwala Community Hospital. A fully-funded endowment, combined with local revenue, will cover 100% of the hospital operating costs annually.
The endowment represents stability, dignity, and continuity: a hospital sustained by community-led investment, not short-term funding cycles.
Giving to the endowment is the most direct way to support Lwala Community Hospital.
