Bridge of Life is partnering with the Global Livingston Institute for a CKD Screening and Prevention Project in Kabale, Uganda. 8 volunteers will be joining us this February to screen around 2,000 community members for CKD and its root causes like hypertension and diabetes. We will also host trainings for Community Health Workers as they treat and educate high-risk patients throughout the year.

Bridge of Life is proud to support two Guatemalan surgeons as they participate in a clinical training observership in Greenville, Mississippi. This program is in partnership with Guatemala’s Ministry of Health and is part of a broader effort to build the country’s first dedicated vascular access hospital. Through this immersive experience, the surgeons will work alongside U.S. clinicians, observe advanced surgical techniques, and gain exposure to best practices in dialysis access and kidney care. The ultimate goal is to strengthen local surgical capacity in Guatemala, ensuring patients have improved access to high-quality, life-saving care. By investing in training and mentorship, this partnership helps create a sustainable model for long-term impact: empowering local providers to lead and expand access services in their own communities.
