The global pandemic of COVID-19 is
affecting the world and changing the way we live. Here in Uganda, 33
cases have so far been recorded as of today. We understand there are many more in
Sweden, just hoping that you, our friends, remain safe.
Here, the government has ordered drastic measures to limit the spread of
the virus like closure of schools and churches, suspension of all
public transport including 'boda boda' motor cycles, buses etc. They are thinking of limiting movements even more.
As you may imagine, this is potentially a big crisis for
most rural families who depend on daily work to get food and other
necessities. Already, some of the care givers/parents of our children
cant work since they don't have means of traveling
to distant places to buy and sell commodities in the market.
We have decided to intervene with some relief for the families as
quickly as possible before our movements are further restricted. We want
to support each family with 300 Kr worth of soap, food and other
essential items that can last them at least two weeks.
As seen in the pics, we have already started to distribute a few items.
This is to request your contribution in this urgent move to save our
families from a potential food crisis and extreme hunger. Earlier, we
had thought of boosting the goat project, but this will be postponed
until we have gone through this crisis.
TOGETHER WE SHALL WIN!
