In the Hardest Weeks, You Brought Relief

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.

When I received my food package, a heavy load was lifted. For the first time in weeks, my children were able to eat until they were full."                                              - Esther

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.

​Because of you, families like Esther’s are moving through this season with dignity and hope. Thank you for standing with Namutumba when it mattered most.
