Emergency Food Relief and PPE Support

By Zachery Onyango | Project Leader

Emergency Food Relief and PPE Support for Ebola-Affected Communities in Uganda

As Ebola cases continue to rise, the impact goes beyond health—it is disrupting entire households and communities.

Families affected by Ebola are often placed under isolation, unable to work, access food, or meet their basic needs. At the same time, the lack of adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) puts frontline responders and caregivers at serious risk.

Without immediate support, both patients and their families face not only the threat of disease—but hunger, vulnerability, and further spread.

Development Alert is responding urgently by providing emergency food relief and essential PPE to affected households and frontline community responders.

Current Response Efforts

  • Distribution of emergency food supplies to affected families in isolation
  • Provision of PPE including gloves, masks, and sanitizers
  • Support for safe caregiving and community protection
  • Assistance to vulnerable households impacted by the outbreak

Each intervention helps protect lives, reduce transmission, and support families through crisis.

The Urgency Now

With cases increasing, more families are being affected daily. Immediate resources are needed to sustain response efforts and prevent further spread.

Call to Action

We urgently call on you to support this critical response.

Your contribution can:

  • Provide emergency food to families in quarantine
  • Supply PPE to protect caregivers and communities
  • Support safe and effective outbreak response
  • Help contain the spread of Ebola

Time is critical.

Donate now to help protect lives, support families, and stop the spread.
