Programs and results
What we aim to solve
In remote areas of Uganda, medical treatment isn’t readily available. So when children become critically ill, it's a crisis situation, leaving parents feeling hopeless, desperate and incapacitated. At Love One International, we provide these children with emergency access to life-saving medical care. Once the children are stable, they’re transferred to the Love One Center to fully recuperate, and their parents learn about basic healthcare, nutrition and hygiene. When children are restored to health, they return home to grateful families and joyful communities. We also offer support through ongoing nutritional education, family strengthening and spiritual programs. We address not only medical concerns, but also spiritual needs. Everything we do is in Jesus' name.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Love One Center
1. ASSESSMENT:
- Cases are typically reported to our Love One Staff by government officials or our communities liaisons.
- Each case is assessed and assigned a level of severity based on the child’s symptoms, overall health, and available resources (most children who go through this program would likely die without immediate attention and treatment).
2. REHABILITATION:
- Children are taken to the hospital for further assessment/treatment. Once the doctors attend to their urgent needs and discharge them, they go to the Love One Center for extended rehabilitation.
- Here, the children not only receive a balanced diet based on individualized nutrition plans, but we also teach them about Jesus. In the meantime, while the child heals, we educate the families about the nutrition, sanitation, hygiene, etc. that their specific child needs.
3. RESETTLEMENT:
- Once the child heals, his immunity is strengthened, AND his family has completed training, our staff assesses and comes up with a resettlement plan.
- Some children come from healthy homes, but their parents lack the funds and resources to care for them. For these cases, the Love One Staff will look at the parents’ skill sets and help them find jobs so they can provide for their family.
- Children who were abandoned or cannot go back to their home have a different resettlement process and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Our goal is to find foster families in the community that love the Lord and have a heart to care for these vulnerable children.
4. FOLLOW-UP:
-Our Love One staff follows up with each resettlement 1x a month. They visit each child’s home and community to monitor the child’s health, observe family dynamics, and see how both the children and families are adjusting.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goals are to build a larger facility so we can serve more children and grow our staff with qualified professionals. Love One's mission is to transform the hearts of children and families in Uganda through life-saving medical care, family preservation and sharing the love of Jesus. By building a larger facility, we are able to expand our reach to serve even more children than we ever have before. The cases we deal with are truly a matter of life or death, and we never want to have to turn a child away. Our goal is to do everything in our power to give each child a second chance at life and to support their family.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our strategies include: pray for the Lord's guidance, hire qualified staff members, spend time making sure that everything is structurally sound, share our vision with people that want to be a part of what we are doing monetarily and continuing to fundraise to provide for operational costs.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We will fundraise through social media, multiple gatherings/events, merchandise, monthly donors, and our yearly fundraising event.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have a rented facility where we are able to care for 40-45 children. We assist families with medical care for their sick child/children, rehab them so that they are healthy, teach the parents a skill/trade for sustainability, and resettle the child with his/her family. After the resettlement process, we do follow-ups once a week to make sure that they are thriving.
In 2018 we served 56 children, in 2019 we served 84 children and in 2020 we served 116 children at the Love One Center. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we were deemed an essential organization which allowed us to feed over 6,000 individuals, most of whom were children. In 2022, we served 130 children at The Center, over 310 in our home-based care program, and fed over 1300 children in our outreach to villages. In 2023, we served 222 children at the Center, over 1,800 in our home-based care program, and served over 2,000 children in our outreaches to villages.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Mrs. Suzanne Mayernick
Love One provides life-saving medical care and rehabilitative services for children in Gulu, Uganda. Most children we care for arrive in critical conditions, suffering from severe malnourishment and often additional infections. Children end up in these desperate conditions because most people in rural communities do not have access to a hospital and if they do, they can only afford the public hospital which has limited capacity and resources. So, our team coordinates access to life-saving healthcare at our partner private hospital, OneWorld Health. Here, the children receive medical care until they are stable enough for discharge. From there, they are transferred to the Love One Center where our nutritionist creates an individualized nutrition plan and they receive the necessary rehabilitative services. As they regain their health, we educate their parents on hygiene, nutrition and proper care. Once their health is restored, they are resettled back with their families.
