The Kellermann Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides resources to support the displaced Batwa pygmies.

The UT Dallas Design team has had the opportunity to work with the Kellermann Foundation on two different projects: Integrating EMR Systems in Hospitals and a Grants Tracker Database.

Kellerman Foundation

The Kellerman Foundation is a Christian, U.S. nonprofit organization founded by Scott and Carol Kellerman to help improve the living conditions of the Batwa pygmies. Currently, the goal is being achieved in three ways. First, through the Bwindi Hospital that provides the local Batwa villages as well as other neighboring towns with the necessary medical assistance. Secondly, their community outreach programs help with local education and food supply. And finally, they run a nursing school that works along with the hospital to give the young adults of Uganda a bright future in an ever expanding field.

Bwindi Hospital in Uganda

The Bwindi Community Hospital is working toward a healthy community with no preventable diseases. They provide access to excellent health services for all. It was founded in 2003 by Dr. Scott Kellerman who was working with the Diocese of Kinkiizi to help the marginalized Batwa population. It is funded by the Kellerman Foundation and is a fairly modern hospital that employs many from the Batwa community and some from greater Uganda. They have a strong emphasis on family planning and educating the community about good health practices.

Uganda Nursing School Bwindi

The Uganda Nursing School in Bwindi is an advanced-level program in a very rural region of Uganda. They train health students from the local region and greater Uganda in important professional capacities. This helps support the hospital and the greater community.
