In Karamoja, Uganda, drought has destroyed crops and food stocks. 473,000 people face acute hunger. 41,000 are in emergency conditions. At least 19 deaths linked to starvation. Elderly and child-headed families suffer most. Grace, 78, went four days without food. The last rain fell in April. Crops failed. Hunger is killing people. Urgent help is needed.
This project provides emergency cash transfers of $70 to vulnerable households in Karamoja. Elderly and child-headed families receive money directly to buy food and medicine. With $5,000, we reach 64 households. Your $10 helps feed a family for a day. $70 saves a household. Cash empowers families to choose what they need most.
This project builds lasting change. Cash and food relief save lives today. Beyond that, families adopt climate-smart farming, growing food even in drought. Children stay in school instead of searching for food. Local economies strengthen. Communities break the cycle of hunger-no longer waiting for aid, but thriving on their own.
