Rescue Families From Acute Hunger in Karamoja

Karamoja's hunger crisis requires both immediate action and long-term commitment.

The latest 2026 IPC assessment reports that 473,000 people—approximately 32% of the analysed population—are experiencing Crisis or Emergency levels of acute food insecurity.

The nutrition situation is equally concerning. Approximately 122,100 children aged 6–59 months are projected to experience acute malnutrition, including around 30,600 children with severe acute malnutrition during the March 2026–February 2027 period.

Good Cause Foundation Uganda believes that responding to this crisis requires more than emergency food distribution. Families need opportunities to rebuild their food-production capacity and become more resilient.

Through donor support, we want to help provide food packages to families facing immediate hunger while supporting access to seeds, agricultural knowledge, farming skills and appropriate productive resources.

This approach seeks to address two important questions:

How can we help families survive today? And how can we help them become more food secure tomorrow?

Objectives:

• Provide immediate food assistance to vulnerable families.
• Support children and households affected by hunger.
• Reach vulnerable communities across Karamoja.
• Provide seeds and agricultural resources.
• Strengthen farming and food-production skills.
• Promote resilient and sustainable agriculture.
• Help families strengthen their food-security capacity.
• Reduce vulnerability to future food shortages.
• Build partnerships for long-term community resilience.

We invite you to become part of the solution.

Donate through GlobalGiving, share this campaign with your network, or partner with Good Cause Foundation Uganda.

Together, we can help families move from hunger and uncertainty toward food, resilience and hope.

A donation can become more than financial support. It can become food on a family's table, relief for a worried parent and hope for a child.

In Karamoja, approximately 473,000 people are facing Crisis or Emergency levels of acute food insecurity, according to the latest 2026 IPC assessment.

The crisis is also placing children at significant nutritional risk. Approximately 122,100 children aged 6–59 months are projected to face acute malnutrition, including approximately 30,600 children with severe acute malnutrition.

Good Cause Foundation Uganda is calling on the GlobalGiving community to help us respond.

Your donation can help support emergency food packages for vulnerable families. It can also help us work toward longer-term solutions by supporting seeds, agricultural skills, farming knowledge and productive resources.

Our goal is to connect relief with empowerment—helping families survive the immediate crisis while creating opportunities to strengthen their food security.

Objectives:

• Provide emergency food support.
• Reach vulnerable families in Karamoja.
• Support children affected by food insecurity.
• Provide agricultural seeds and resources.
• Strengthen household farming skills.
• Improve food-production capacity.
• Promote resilience and sustainable food security.
• Mobilize donors and partners for continued support.

Your donation can become someone's meal, someone's hope, and someone's opportunity for a better tomorrow.

Please give what you can. Every contribution can help us reach another family.
