For a child living with jiggers, pain can make every step difficult.

School can be interrupted. Parents may be unable to work. Children can become isolated from their friends and community.

Jiggers are treatable and preventable. Yet for many families in Uganda, the care they need is too far away.

This Christmas, you can help bring treatment closer to home through Sole Hope’s Walk In Freedom Clinics.

Together, we can help more children heal, walk without pain, return to school, and move forward with dignity.

Care Close to Home

Walk In Freedom Clinics are Sole Hope partnerships located inside government hospitals.

Instead of constructing new buildings, Sole Hope strengthens healthcare facilities that families already know and trust.

Sole Hope trains local medical staff in safe jigger removal, equips clinics with the necessary tools and supplies, provides prevention education, and makes sure treated patients receive protective shoes.

Through these clinics, families can receive:

Safe jigger removal and wound care
Treatment and support for damaged feet
Practical hygiene and prevention education
Protective shoes that help reduce reinfestation
Continued care close to their community

This approach makes care local, consistent, and sustainable.

Progress Is Possible

Jigger rates in Uganda’s Busoga region have fallen by 80%.

This progress shows what consistent treatment, prevention education, protective shoes, and continued community care can make possible.

Freedom Clinics help bring this proven approach closer to more families, so children can heal, return to school, and walk without pain again.

Paul’s Story

Paul used to hide his feet.

The pain caused by jiggers made walking difficult and made school feel impossible. He worried that other people would notice his condition and reject him.

When Paul came to Sole Hope, he received gentle treatment, clean bandages, encouragement, and a new pair of protective shoes.

After receiving care, Paul said,

“Now I can run again. I can go back to school.”

Paul’s story shows what freedom can look like when treatment, protection, and compassion reach a child at the right time.
