Karamoja is facing one of the most severe hunger emergencies in recent years.
In July 2026, the Government of Uganda launched emergency food distributions after heartbreaking reports of hunger-related deaths.
Today, an estimated 1.5 million people are struggling to survive the effects of prolonged drought, while health centers continue to admit growing numbers of severely malnourished children.
Families are exhausting every coping mechanism, and many parents are forced to skip meals so their children can eat.
Your compassionate support can provide lifesaving food, nutritious meals for vulnerable children, and hope to families facing unimaginable hardship.
Every donation helps us reach isolated communities with emergency food assistance while protecting children from the devastating effects of malnutrition.
Together, we can save lives, restore dignity, and help Karamoja's most vulnerable families survive this crisis and begin rebuilding a healthier future.
