Partners
The Power of Collaboration
We believe in the power of collaboration as the means to achieve our goals to educate the illiterate and empower the weak and vulnerable with knowledge. Our working partners are proof that “Together We Can”. It is an honor and privilege to work with all of these outstanding institutions and organizations that are dedicated to making the world a better place to live.
Economic and Social Council at the United Nations
To have achieved Special Consultative Status at the United Nations Economic and Social Council was a moment of celebration at ROSE. This achievement is evidence that we are truly committed to serving the oppressed rural poor with life saving knowledge. It is an honor and a priviledge to be welcomed into this honorable organization.
World Hearing Forum
World Hearing Forum (WHF) is under the umbrella of WHO and serves to advocate for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing population. Acceptance into this esteemed forum was based upon our years of advocacy and service to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. It is with great honor that we have been accepted into WHF and look forward to many more years advocating for those suffering with hearing loss.
Santa Clara University Frugal Innovation Hub
If it wasn’t for the efforts of Santa Clara University Frugal Innovation Hub, Rose Academies wouldn’t be where we are today. With their innovative design and development, we are taking technology into impoverished, rural clinics and communities that lack internet access. Our Android based application programs now include Hedhi Help (a sexual develoment and MHM program), OmwanaThrive (neonatal health), Healthy Future (a compilation of healthcare booklets), Obulamu Eats (nutrition) and more. Their continued support is changing the way healthcare is being taught in far off corners of the world.
Santa Clara University College of Arts and Sciences
Santa Clara University College of Arts & Sciences is the backbone of our revolutionary healthcare application programs. Beginning with Hedhi Help (a sexual develoment and MHM program), our programs have expanded to include OmwanaThrive (neonatal health), Obulamu Choices (a feminine healthcare guide) and Ma’ama Care (antenatal health). These application programs are changing the way we teach healthcare to the rural poor and are proving successful in the multiple regions where we work.
Cornell Engineering World Health
Another partner in the academic world is the prestigious Cornell University with its Engineering World Health group. This team of engineers takes us to a new level of interactive software that teaches our beneficiaries about tuberculosis with a gaming type approach. TB is a deadly disease that is killing thousands every year, particularly in low income countries, such as Uganda. Working with Cornell EWH’s team, we are determined to close the gap of misinformation and improve knowledge how TB can be cured with early detection and treatment.
Texas A&M University – School of Public Health
Our partnership with Texas A&M has been instrumental in the development of our organization to become a leader of healthcare educational resources for the rural poor. Starting with a simple community service project, hundreds of undergrad students created storybooks on healthcare and disease prevention which led to the foundation of our YouLearn library.
The summer of 2022, was the beginning of our internship program for graduate students completing their Masters in Public Health. Each practicum opportunity tackles serious global health concerns that include mental health, cervical cancer, TB, reducing disabilities and reducing adverse outcomes of pregnancy.
Uganda Federation of the Hard of Hearing
We have been working with Uganda Federation of the Hard of Hearing since we first came to Uganda in 2018. Their partnership has been instrumental in our efforts to reach the Deaf and Hard of Hearing population with healthcare education. It is an honor to work with this outstanding organization and hope to continue long into the future.
Uganda National Action on Physical Disability
Our partnership with Uganda National Action on Physical Disability (UNAPD) is a sign of our commitment to support the disabled community in advocacy and action. We are honored to work with this long standing organization that has been advocating for the rights of the disabled for over 24 years.
Uganda National Association of Cerebral Palsy
We work together with Uganda National Association of Cerebral Palsy (UNACP-Uganda) in our mission to help persons with disabilities to have a better life. Our educational programs have been developed for the low literate learner and are well suited for persons that have Cerebral Palsy as we help families learn about nutrition and healthcare.
Our ongoing relationship with multiple working partners supports and reinforces our commitment to provide equal access to education, healthcare services, and employment opportunities for all persons regardless of their ethnicities, religious beliefs, gender or abilities.
