When crises collide, mothers and newborns feel it most.

In Uganda, an Ebola threat is intersecting with the economic ripple effects of the recent conflict in the Middle East. One is close to home. The other more distant.

Together, these pressures are putting health services under real strain—especially for mothers and babies.

We’re focused on maintaining essential care while staying ahead of risk—so mothers and newborns can continue to receive life-saving support.

Students in Humla got their hands in the soil this World Environment Day 🌱

Last week, they celebrated by planting trees and flowers in their school grounds. They also painted stones with their names to place beside the trees — each one carrying the name and story of the student who planted it.

These simple acts are helping students care for their environment, build pride in their schools, and create greener spaces for the future.

Join us in celebrating these students and the care they are showing for the world around them 💚

Behind every number is a mother, a baby, a child, a family – and a future filled with possibility. ❤️

We’re delighted to share Adara’s 2025 Operations Report.

From safer care for mothers and newborns to brighter opportunities for children and communities, the stories and impact showcased in this report brings to life what’s possible when we stay focused on what works.

The theme — Consolidate. Strengthen. Scale. — reflects our focus on protecting what works, sustaining quality, and growing where we can make the greatest difference.

We’re working proactively to reduce Ebola risk and protect health workers and communities. In response to current outbreak in DRC and Uganda, we’re focused on staying ahead of risk while ensuring essential services continue safely.

While cases in Uganda remain contained, this is a serious situation that requires ongoing vigilance. Effective control depends on speed, trust and strong frontline systems — from protecting health workers and identifying cases early to ensuring communities have clear and accurate information.

Across all Adara-supported facilities, we have mobilised Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and infection prevention and control (IPC) supplies, helping health workers care for patients safely. Community Health Workers have also received also PPE kits, alongside practical training on infection prevention and safer home visit protocols to reduce exposure risk.

At the same time, we are strengthening preparedness across our programmes – reinforcing ICP practices, sharing Ministry of Health guidance, and adapting how we work on the ground to minimise risk while maintaining access to care.

We will continue to closely monitor the situation and stand ready to respond — alongside the health workers and communities at the heart of this work.

Take a look at the stunning dedicated maths lab at Adara‑supported Shree Ghyangfedi School in remote Nepal 📐📚.

This space is just one part of a multipurpose building that also includes a science lab, computer lab and library.

Purpose built spaces like these make learning more engaging, interactive and inspiring – where students can explore ideas, build confidence and discover a love of learning.

Every child deserves to learn in high-quality, well-resourced facilities that help them thrive.

Thank you for helping us make this possible 💙

Care shouldn’t end at discharge from hospital — and neither should support for newborns and families.

Last week, our Deputy Director of Maternal, Newborn and Child Health, Beatrice Niyonshaba, joined experts from across Africa at the Masana wa Afrika Early Childhood Development Conference in Johannesburg.

Beatrice presented on newborn survival, highlighting the critical link between facility‑based and community care. She shared the impact and learnings from Adara’s Hospital to Home and Baby Ubuntu programmes, which provide community‑based follow‑up care and early intervention, ensuring continuity of support after discharge.

This was a valuable opportunity to share evidence, learn from peers and strengthen collective efforts to improve community‑based care for babies, infants and families across Africa.

Colourful walls and even brighter futures. Education is worth smiling about🤗 🦋

These joyful little ones are from Ghyangfedi in remote Nepal. Together with local communities, we’re helping ensure children have access to quality education, no matter where they live.

We’re proud to support over 2,000 students across 15 Adara supported schools, with more than half of them girls — bringing quality education to some of the most remote communities.

Thank you for helping us make this work possible. Smiles like these say it all 💙

Philanthropy can’t fill every gap – but it can make smart choices, take first risk, and help reshape the system.

Watch The Hon. Julia Gillard AC and Adara’s Founder and Chair Audette Exel AO in conversation at our Women Deliver side event, as they explore philanthropy’s role in today’s rapidly shifting global landscape.

In this moment of shrinking international aid, philanthropy can move faster, take first risk, support advocacy, and help create the political and civic space needed to redesign systems so they work better for communities.

From backing new models to standing up for global citizenship, the message was clear: this moment calls for courage, collaboration and responsibility.

Thank you to Women Deliver for convening this vital conversation. Watch to hear more.

We wanted to share an update on the Ebola situation in DRC and the recent cases in Uganda, and what it means for Adara.

You may have seen that WHO has declared this a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. At this stage, we remain grateful that there is no confirmed local transmission in Uganda. The Uganda Ministry of Health (MoH) continues to mount a strong and proactive response.

In Uganda, there have been two confirmed cases so far, both imported from DRC. This is serious but still contained. That said, the outbreak in DRC is significant, so we do need to stay alert.

Uganda – and our teams – have faced this before. We have worked through Ebola outbreaks in close proximity to our project sites over many years, and we know that our team and the Ugandan health worker community is skilled at managing the risk.

Our priority is on staying ahead of this and being practical in our preparation. We know that effective control depends on speed, trust, protecting health workers, clear information for families, and finding cases early before disease spreads.

As always, we are sharply focused on the safety of our teams, their families and the communities that we work with.

Our hearts are with all the families affected. We’ll continue to monitor closely and keep you updated as things evolve.

“I am not just a mother who worries… I finally, truly, smile.”

For many families, raising a child with a neurodisability can mean isolation, stigma, and limited access to care.

Before joining Baby Ubuntu, Amina describes her world as “small, lonely, and silent”. Raising her two-year-old daughter Lucy alone, she faced fear and uncertainty.

Through Baby Ubuntu, Amina found the tools and support to care for her daughter – and connection through community.

Today, Lucy is growing stronger every day – and Amina’s smile has returned.

“My girl can now sit. Watching her feels like a miracle,” Amina says.

Raising a 2-year-old with a neurodisability in Uganda, Amina found support & community through the Baby Ubuntu programme.
