Refugee children in Uganda are some of the most vulnerable in the world. They’ve fled violence, they have almost nothing and they’re hungry.
Thank you for responding to this need and ensuring that over 12,000 children will now have hot nutritious meals for a month, plus access to education and support through the work of Feed the Hungry.
The number of people without enough food to eat is racing towards 1 billion around the world but a dent was made on Take Away Hunger Day 2024, thanks to you!
“I buy a coffee most days for $5. The least I could do is help children to be fed for a month for little over the price of my daily coffee” Simon, donated on Take Away Hunger Day.
You’re helping people like Angok who tragically lost both his parents in the civil war in South Sudan.
He and his siblings escaped to Uganda. Without a parent to provide, he says he relies on God to meet his every need.
His faith sustains his spirit – and the meal at school keeps his body and mind healthy.
“If there’s no food here at school, and there’s no food from home, you will not be alive. You will just die,” he says.
“But if there’s food here at school, at least, then… that is good for a school child!”
“I am also South Sudanese and I’m deeply touched by what you guys are doing for my people.. thank you very much. Everyday at work when I listen to your station I realised how lucky I am to be in this country with countless opportunities and guaranteed food for the day.” Sunday, donated on Take Away Hunger Day.
It’s not too late to give. There are still more children like Angok who need food.
Donate $6 today to feed a child for month.
Your gift of just $6 will feed a hungry child at school for a whole month. More than a meal, you’ll be helping provide children with an education and the opportunity to know God’s love!
