Community in Need of Immediate Support. Pebac Entrepreneurship for Real Development Limited is appealing to GlobalGiving, international donors, humanitarian organizations and development partners for immediate assistance to address food insecurity and protect livelihoods among 1,000 vulnerable people in Uganda's Karamoja sub-region.
Communities across Karamoja face persistent challenges associated with drought, inadequate rainfall, food shortages, limited access to productive resources and increasingly vulnerable livelihoods. These pressures threaten household food supplies, agricultural production and the livestock on which many families depend.
Although recent rainfall temporarily improved conditions in some locations, filling catchment ponds and supporting the recovery of green vegetation, the relief remains uncertain. The reported rainfall outlook for the remainder of the year raises concerns about continued water shortages and the sustainability of food production.
Pebac currently lacks the financial resources required to implement the planned food security interventions at the scale needed. We urgently seek donations to provide seeds, support food production, strengthen water conservation and help vulnerable households protect their livelihoods.
With timely support, we aim to help 1,000 people access practical solutions that strengthen food availability, agricultural resilience and household self-reliance.
Progress and Challenges Since the June 2026 Report
During the reporting period, Pebac continued developing its approach to food security and livelihood support, with a focus on drought-affected and remote communities.
Previous project reporting described sorghum planting, training activities and efforts to establish relationships with communities for future food security interventions. The organization also reported scouting potential project locations, including areas around Mount Moroto, where local conditions may offer opportunities for productive agriculture.
Our approach recognizes that Karamoja's conditions vary significantly. Some communities experience severe aridity and require stronger water conservation measures, while selected mountain valleys and other suitable locations may offer opportunities for more productive farming.
We therefore intend to adapt interventions to local conditions, combining drought-tolerant crops such as sorghum and maize, appropriate farming practices, water harvesting and conservation, and livelihood support for households dependent on livestock.
However, repeated dry conditions and inadequate resources have made it difficult to expand these activities. We do not currently have sufficient funding to deliver the additional seeds, training, water-management infrastructure and community support required.
What We Urgently Need to Do. Pebac is seeking immediate financial and material support to implement a targeted intervention for 1,000 people.
Donations will support the following priorities, subject to a verified implementation budget and local needs assessment:
Where households face immediate food shortages, PeBac will also seek partnerships with qualified humanitarian agencies to explore emergency food assistance and referrals, recognizing that seeds alone cannot meet the immediate needs of families without food.
Why Your Donation Matters Now. The people of Karamoja cannot wait for another planting season to lose its potential. Timely support can help communities make better use of available water, access appropriate seeds and prepare for increasingly unpredictable rainfall.
A donation to Pebac is an opportunity to support practical, locally adapted solutions for vulnerable households. It can help move communities beyond repeated emergency needs toward more resilient food production and sustainable livelihoods.
We invite individual donors, foundations, corporate partners, humanitarian agencies and GlobalGiving supporters to contribute financial resources, seeds, agricultural tools, water-storage materials and technical expertise.
Our immediate priority is to mobilize the resources required to reach 1,000 people. A detailed budget and implementation plan will establish the amount required, the number of households supported and the activities that can be delivered with the funds raised.
Accountability and Commitment. Pebac is committed to responsible management of all donations received. We will document expenditure, record activities delivered, track the people reached and report implementation progress and challenges honestly.
Beneficiary numbers and outcomes will be reported against verified records. We will distinguish between planned activities and completed interventions and share available evidence of results with our donors.
We recognize that restoring food security in Karamoja requires sustained collaboration among communities, government, humanitarian agencies, agricultural specialists and development partners. We welcome partnerships that can strengthen the reach and effectiveness of this initiative.
Our Urgent Appeal: Help Feed Families and Protect Livelihoods
We have the commitment to serve, but we do not have the funds to deliver the support these communities urgently need.
Pebac Entrepreneurship for Real Development Limited calls upon GlobalGiving supporters and all compassionate partners to help mobilize resources for 1,000 vulnerable people in Karamoja.
Your contribution can help provide seeds, improve water conservation, strengthen farming knowledge and support families working to secure their livelihoods in a challenging environment.
Together, we can turn urgent need into practical action, protect livelihoods and help vulnerable communities build a more food-secure future.
Please donate today. Every contribution can help bring food security and renewed hope closer to the people of Karamoja.
With sincere appreciation to our volunteers, supporters, prospective donors and the GlobalGiving community for standing with vulnerable communities.
Thank you for believing in our mission and for standing with Pebac Entrepreneurship for Real Development Limited.
Invest in food security. Protect livelihoods. Stand with Karamoja.
