We would like to express our heartfelt concerns for everyone experiencing difficulties due to the coronavirus at this time. In particular, we are concerned for the increased pressures this places on the children of Uganda, as the population of Kampala returns to their villages in the hope of protecting themselves from living too close in the city. However, this has raised the further problems of feeding as they await the growth of crops. We are aware you are also facing uncertainty during this time but we are appealing for aid to help send donations to the villages in order to provide immediate food and seeds. Just a few pounds can feed a family for a week.
As a result of Covid-19 and the famine in the villages and suburbs of Kampala, Promise made the decision to set up a mobile community project known as Inspire. You can read more about the project under the ‘Inspire‘ tab or click here.
If you wish to make a donation, please follow the link on the giving page.
