URGENT need for blankets, warm clothes, and food!

Dear Friends,

Earlier this month the situation was famine & drought..the current situation is famine & flooding. The recent flooding has left her dear friends desperately in need of a famine relief food delivery early as well as blankets and warm clothes. Our team is on their way now for the food delivery that will start tomorrow!! As a result of the flooding, the food that was remaining to sustain them for the next almost 2 weeks either spoiled or washed away.

We are asking for help with fundraising for the emergency food relief that is on the way now. We are also hoping to send BLANKETS to help with the cold of the night time and warm clothes. The dream would be 5,000 blankets so that everyone has one. We are hoping to raise enough to start with 200 for the most vulnerable families.

PLEASE JOIN US in this effort to make a huge difference in this dire situation. Our hearts break for them.

Please join us in prayer for safety for our team as they jump into this last minute need and gathering supplies, please pray for hope! The gardens we had hoped to a develop sustainability for them as a food source are also destroyed.

Here is an update from a team member on the ground in Uganda:

“The videos shared above are from Kamera village, one of the villages in Moroto district, Karamoja. After over three years of drought, the arrival of rains starting in May this year brought floods, exacerbating the vulnerability of elderly grandmothers and children.

The wood and grass-thatched huts, where people often sleep on animal skins and hides, offer little protection. When rain occurs, extreme shivering affects both grandmothers and children. Shivering is an energy-expending process, and the energy required comes from the food they consume. Adequate nutrition not only supports physical work but also helps protect vulnerable individuals as they struggle to keep warm and stay alive. Children, especially those under five are not used this are at huge risk of suffering the consequences of hypothermia.

The children’s lose heat mainly through conduction to the ground and cold surfaces, radiation. The floods and surface runoff has gone through their huts and we have seen the children sleeping in cold-water soaked mud. Grand mothers have been seen sitting vulnerably with their grand children.

We thank TCI for sending in the food relief for these marginalized children and grands. Food is critical and first line for protecting the essential right of life. Please pray for these souls.”

We are in need of funds for famine relief, blankets, and warm clothes!
