THE MORAL FORGE INVESTIGATION:
Colorado Missionary With Zero Medical Training Ran Ugandan “Clinic” Where 105 Children Died**
A brutal case of western entitlement, unregulated charity power, and the deadly consequences of treating African lives as disposable.
While U.S. agencies and international NGOs maintain billion-dollar “global health” campaigns, a Colorado woman with no medical training, no license, no experience, and no criminal record operated a makeshift malnutrition clinic in Uganda—and at least 105 children died under her watch.
Her name is Renee Bach, a missionary who left Colorado and inserted herself directly into life-or-death medical decision-making in a foreign country—something she could never legally do in the United States.
This wasn’t humanitarian work.
This was medical vigilantism dressed up as charity.

SHE DRESSED LIKE A DOCTOR, ACTED LIKE A DOCTOR—BUT WASN’T ONE
Witnesses and families say Bach wore white medical coats, carried stethoscopes, and gave the unmistakable impression of a trained medical professional. Her organization, Serving His Children, operated like a clinic, with IV lines, feeding tubes, and emergency interventions being done by unqualified hands.
Ugandan officials confirmed:
No medical license
No training
No authorization
No affiliation with the Ministry of Health
Yet she supervised critical care for some of the most medically fragile children in the region.
Children suffering severe malnutrition require high-level clinical oversight—the kind that takes years of training. Instead, they received improvised treatment while a foreign missionary played doctor.
---
PARENTS WERE NEVER TOLD THE TRUTH
Families believed Bach was a trained doctor because that is how she presented herself.
Nobody told them she had:
No degree
No medical background
No credentials
No professional supervision
These families were desperate and vulnerable—many traveling hours for help. Instead of real medical care, they encountered an unregulated, unauthorized imitation of healthcare.
One father described watching his child deteriorate:
> “We trusted her. She said she knew what to do. My child died.”
---
105 CHILDREN DEAD — AND MOST DEATHS WERE PREVENTABLE
Ugandan health officials linked over 105 deaths to the facility.
Many of these children would have survived had they been treated in a licensed therapeutic feeding center or hospital.
But delays—caused by improper treatment inside Bach’s center—cost lives.
An attorney representing families said:
> “This was not an accident. This was a systematic failure caused by false authority and unchecked power.”

THE COLONIAL PLAYBOOK: WHITE SAVIORISM MEETS ZERO OVERSIGHT
Let’s call this what it is: Western charity colonialism.
An American woman with no expertise assumed the right to perform medical procedures on African children because she believed she could do it better than trained Ugandan professionals.
This case is not unique.
It’s part of a long pattern:
Western volunteers allowed to do overseas what would be illegal at home
Missionaries making life-or-death decisions without licensing
African children used as unregulated “training subjects”
Lack of global enforcement and accountability
If a Black American mother in Colorado treated even one child’s malnutrition without certification, she’d be arrested immediately.
But a white missionary in Africa?
She was praised as a “hero” until the bodies piled up.
---
BACH HAD NO CRIMINAL HISTORY — AND STILL WALKED INTO A FOREIGN NATION WITH FULL CONFIDENCE
Renee Bach had no criminal convictions, no disciplinary history, and no qualifications. Yet she exercised more medical authority overseas than she ever could in Colorado.
That confidence doesn’t come from skill.
It comes from a system that rewards unchecked Western intervention.
---
LEGAL BATTLE: FAMILIES DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY
Families have sued Bach for wrongful death, unauthorized practice, and misrepresentation. The lawsuit argues that Bach knowingly acted far outside her abilities while misrepresenting herself as medically trained.
International human rights organizations argue this should be a criminal case, not just a civil one.
But because this happened in Uganda—where regulatory frameworks are underfunded and foreign charities often operate unchecked—justice remains uncertain.
---
UGANDA MOVES TO CLOSE THE LOOPHOLES
Facing international pressure, the Ugandan Ministry of Health announced reforms that should have been in place decades ago:
Mandatory credential verification
Licensing for all foreign medical operations
Inspections for all “charity clinics”
Criminal penalties for unauthorized medical activity
This is the minimum.
It should not take 105 dead children for any nation to protect its most vulnerable.
---
THE MORAL FORGE VERDICT
This tragedy is not about one woman.
It’s about a system that:
Allows unqualified Westerners to perform medical interventions abroad
Treats African children as disposable
Praises missionaries while ignoring preventable deaths
Protects foreign charity workers more than local families
Applies one standard to Black and Brown nations and another to the West
**105 dead children.
Zero medical training.
