Leave a legacy

Thank you for thinking about leaving a gift to Whisper in your will.

Whisper runs a children’s hospital and a maternity unit in Jinja, Uganda, in an area where healthcare is all too often unaffordable, unavailable or unsafe because of poor infrastructure.

Our hospital is a happy, caring, child-friendly place providing high-quality healthcare. We have a social worker and a nutritionist on the staff so that we can follow through where a child's circumstances may be contributing to their ill-health. Check our great reviews on Facebook and Google.

We make your gift work hard

We don't know any other charity that saves more lives than we do, for a given donation. A gift of $28.26 allows us, on average, to treat a patient. A gift of $363 allows us to treat 13 patients and in doing that, we estimate that we save a life that would not otherwise have been saved. To find out how we arrived at those figures, see our page about impact. Our UK administration and fundraising are all done by volunteers, making your gift go even further.

We’ve been active in Ugandan healthcare since 2010 and the hospital opened in 2016. Although we’re still a small charity, we’re ambitious for our services and we can make good use of gifts of any size. Contact us on This email address is being protected from spambots.
