Food & Clean Water Aid for Karamoja

By KEDI HASSAN

Expired

Karamoja is a semi-arid area in Uganda with pastoral community of mainly poor people who in most cases can`t afford a meal a day, so most of them depend on street begging and eating sorghum stems. The biggest percentage of death in the community is caused by Hunger which mainly kills the elderly and children.

About the Cause

Poor health and nutrition negatively affect children’s school attendance and ability to learn. We implement school feeding programs that look for alternative ways to ensure sustainable supply of nutritious foods to school children and young people in urban and marginalized areas. 

In addition, contaminated water and poor sanitation are big factors that result in the death of children worldwide. In our programs, we always include what is called WASH which means Water, Sanitation & Hygiene. This is done through the design and construction of child-friendly and gender sensitive facilities for sanitation, such as latrines and hand-washing stations. We also provide clean water supply by building water wells and raise awareness about the importance of sanitation and hygiene.
