Rescue Families From Acute Hunger in Karamoja

For a family experiencing hunger, tomorrow can feel uncertain. Parents may wake up without knowing how they will provide the next meal for their children. In communities already facing poverty and limited livelihood opportunities, food insecurity can quickly become a crisis.

Karamoja is facing a serious food and nutrition challenge. The latest 2026 IPC assessment reports that 473,000 people in Karamoja are facing Crisis or Emergency levels of acute food insecurity, representing approximately 32% of the analysed population.

Children are particularly vulnerable. Approximately 122,100 children aged 6–59 months are projected to face acute malnutrition, including around 30,600 children with severe acute malnutrition during the March 2026–February 2027 period.

Behind every statistic is a family that needs support.

Good Cause Foundation Uganda is appealing to donors through GlobalGiving to help provide emergency food assistance to vulnerable households. A donation can help provide essential food items to a family that may otherwise struggle to put a meal on the table.

But we want to do more than respond to hunger temporarily. We want to help families build a pathway toward greater food security through seeds, agricultural knowledge, farming skills and appropriate productive resources.

Objectives:

• Provide emergency food assistance to vulnerable families.
• Support children and households affected by hunger.
• Reach vulnerable communities in Karamoja.
• Provide seeds and agricultural resources where appropriate.
• Strengthen household farming and food-production skills.
• Promote sustainable food-security practices.
• Support families to build resilience against future food shortages.
• Mobilize international donors and partners.

Your donation can help provide a meal today and create an opportunity for a more secure tomorrow.

Please donate through GlobalGiving, share this campaign with your friends and networks, or partner with us to help reach more families.
