Caregiving & Nursing Course in Uganda – June Intake 2025: Everything You Need to Know

Are you passionate about healthcare and helping others live better lives? Fairies Aid Care Uganda is now accepting applications for the June 2025 Intake of our professional Caregiving and Nursing Assistant Certificate Course — based at Maina House, Kitooro, Kampala.

Why Professional Caregiving Training Matters in Uganda

Uganda — like much of East Africa — faces a growing demand for skilled, compassionate caregivers. An ageing population, rising rates of chronic illness, and growing international demand for Ugandan healthcare workers have created a serious skills gap. Trained caregivers are urgently needed in homes, hospitals, elderly care facilities, and abroad.
