Your donations will help supply much-needed emergency relief such as food and blankets to rural Ugandans during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Iowa State University-Uganda Program staff in Kamuli district who work every day to carry out the Center for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods’ programs, have not only adapted their normal job responsibilities to the current conditions but are now also working to ensure that hunger is kept at bay despite the pandemic.
"We are proud of our Ugandan team directed by Gideon Nadiope, National Director of the ISU-Uganda Program," said CSRL Director, David Acker. "They assessed the situation, came up with an appropriate plan, and immediately put it into action to help reduce hunger in the communities where they work. The plan includes delivering corn flour, rice, soap, and seeds to rural areas and frontline health workers in areas where food supplies are becoming tight."
In addition to maize, beans, and rice, blankets have also distributed in the neighboring Buyende district where more than 3,000 families have been displaced by floods.
We are grateful that several CSRL donors reached out early in the pandemic which allowed us to respond quickly. Now we need your help to continue these special efforts and help these communities bridge the gap between resiliency and recovery. You are invited to share this message with others. Every donation helps.
