BRIEF PROFILE ABOUT KITOVU MOBILE

Kitovu Mobile (KM), is a not-for profit, faith-based non-discriminatory organization founded in 1987 by the Medical Missionaries of Mary (MMM) sisters with an aim of alleviating the psychosocial, health and economic consequences of HIV/AIDS scourge among individuals, families and communities in Masaka, Sembabule, Rakai and Lyantonde districts.

Over the past 35 years, KM has transformed from one project of Home-Based Care into a multi-project centered organization empowering marginalized families and communities with operations in eight (8) districts of greater Masaka region, particularly Bukomansimbi, Lwengo, Masaka, Kyotera, Sembabule, Rakai, Lyantonde and Kalungu.  KM was registered in 2013 as a company limited by guarantee under the Registered Trustees of Masaka Diocese.

Todate, KM remains an ambitious, transparent, inspiring, innovating and outstanding health and development organization with a wide-ranging set of goals and strategies to improve health and wellbeing marginalized communities in greater Masaka districts.
