Emergency relief to support vulnerable households affected by Coronavirus in Uganda

Location: Uganda (Kampala, Bweyogerere Kirinya Bukasa Village)

As the Corona Virus Pandemic continues to spread across the globe, governments and individuals are trying to work out what it means for them, how to protect themselves and how they can help one another during these trying times.

In many ways, Give Hope Uganda is an embodiment of remote work already. In ordinary times, the communities that we work with enjoy an engagement that allows them to have freedom over their time and location. However, in these uncertain times, it is unsafe to work leaving children and women are the most vulnerable groups being affected and hit by the pandemic due to a lack of food (daily meals), basic needs of life like soap, access to clean and safe drinking water, little or no funds to cover their daily living standards and more.

As a Youth Led organization, we have embarked on a Clean Homes Campaign and are working with our beneficiaries to provide basic and simplified knowledge on how to fight the Spread of COVID 19, hand washing methods, among others.

Support Needed

Our budget is $5000+. We are missing visibility for funders to support us. We have started reaching out to different potential organizations, individuals, different social media plate forms and well wishers for support.

Use of Proceeds
We have been thinking about ways in which we can help our communities that we work with, especially in rural and urban areas that are hard to reach on how to manage in this new environment that is full of uncertain times. We therefore appeal to all individuals, Philanthropists, humanitarians, Charities, churches, Groups and other ministries to give and share love with those who do not have. All the proceedings collected will be used to purchase various essential foods and home use products that will be distributed to various vulnerable families and children’s homes under our support through the various Task Forces that we operate in Wakiso District.

Other support: Volunteers, access to information, online fundraising on givingway.
