In the Hardest Weeks, You Brought Food Relief to 92 Families

The year began with severe food shortages in Namutumba District after irregular weather disrupted the final harvest of 2025. By January, many families had exhausted their food reserves and were struggling to afford even one meal a day. Parents faced impossible decisions , whether to buy food, send children to school, or pay for medical care.

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to respond at a critical time.

We distributed posho and beans to 92 families, reaching 512 household members. This immediate support ensured children could eat, eased the burden on parents, and provided stability during the most difficult weeks of the hunger season.

Kadama Esther, a mother of seven, shared that after her harvest failed, her family had been surviving on one small meal a day. When she received her food package, she said it felt like a heavy load had been lifted. For the first time in weeks, her children ate until they were full.
