Walk In Freedom Clinics

Bringing jigger treatment into the clinics families already trust.

Walk In Freedom Clinics are a Sole Hope program, not walk-in or drop-in clinics. They are long-term partnerships with government health centers in Uganda.

By training medical staff, supplying tools, providing protective shoes, and reinforcing prevention education, this program makes jigger care local, consistent, and sustainable.

Why this program exists

Jiggers are a treatable condition, yet many families suffer for years because care is too far away or inconsistent.

Government health centers are the first place families turn. Walk In Freedom Clinics strengthen these existing systems so treatment, prevention, and follow-up care happen close to home.

What happens at each clinic

  • Government medical staff trained in safe jigger treatment
  • Consistent tools and supplies for ongoing care
  • Prevention education to reduce recurrence
  • Protective shoes provided for every treated patient
  • Ongoing partnership and follow-up support

Where Walk In Freedom Clinics operate

Right now, Walk In Freedom Clinics operate in central and eastern Uganda, focused on communities with high jigger prevalence and limited access to care.

  • Central Uganda
  • Eastern Uganda
  • Rural communities connected to government health facilities
  • Areas identified by local leaders and hospital partners as high-need

Clinics operate in partnership with government health centers, bringing consistent, preventative foot care into communities where children and families are most at risk.

What people usually want to know

Is this a temporary outreach or a long-term program?
Walk In Freedom Clinics are designed as long-term partnerships. Sole Hope works alongside government health centers to build capacity that remains after year one.
How is this different from Sole Hope’s mobile clinics?
Mobile clinics travel into villages and schools. Walk In Freedom Clinics place care inside permanent government facilities, expanding reach to new regions through public health systems.
Who provides the care?
Government medical staff deliver care after receiving training, tools, and ongoing support from Sole Hope’s Ugandan team.
Does this replace other Sole Hope programs?
No. Walk In Freedom builds on over 15 years of proven work. Severe cases are still referred to the Hope Center, and mental health support continues through Brighter Days.
How do communities get selected?
Locations are identified in collaboration with local leaders, hospital partners, and health officials based on need and access gaps.

A proven model, extended further

Walk In Freedom Clinics take what has worked for years and place it inside the systems families already depend on.

The result is earlier treatment, fewer reinfestations, and communities that can stay well.
