About Us — ISAAC FOUNDATION

We Are Committed to Serve

Our desire to provide education and medical care to the people of Uganda started in 2021. Since then, we have sent medical and educational volunteers to deliver essential care where it is most needed.

ISAAC MWESIGWA

THE FOUNDER

From Kampala, Uganda to the United States — A journey of faith and determination

Isaac Mwesigwa was born in Kampala, Uganda in Rubaga division. He is the second born of the six children of Nassaazi Jennifer and Bawerwabwerere Philip. Isaac graduated from the University of Kyambogo and Nakaseeke Primary Teachers College. He worked as a grade III primary teacher in Kasubi church of Uganda.

In 2017, Isaac immigrated to the United States of America to further his education. In 2021, he graduated with an Associate’s Degree of Science in Nursing from Tennessee College Of Applied Technology-Knoxville.

Since 2021

Since 2021, Isaac Foundation’s medical outreach has exploded, and Micah Ward Clinic has provided medical care to over 6,000 patients! Micah Ward Clinic’s growing reputation has caused a Chinese company nearby to exclusively send its workers to our clinic for care.

In 2022, Isaac Foundation began building an elementary school in Kapeeka, Uganda. Construction was completed in 2024, and in January, the school was open to the public. At the end of 2024, we had 35 students. At the beginning of 2025, we have over 100 students! The school has grown exponentially, and we could not have done it without the support of our friends and sponsors!

Despite all these achievements, we still have a long way to go! Many more children still need education and many people still need medical care. We believe that with time and the Lord’s guidance, we will be able to expand these services to other areas of Uganda.
