 You will have heard of the drought affecting many parts of East Africa. It is at its worst in the northern parts of Kenya and Uganda. SPICMA is focusing on the Catholic Diocese of Kotido in Karamoja, Uganda. Although the World Food Programme is bringing in relief food on a regular basis, there are a lot vulnerable people – the old and infirm; and mothers with small children. They often miss out when families are registered, and find it difficult to struggle for the food when it eventually arrives. The Diocese of Kotido has five medical units which cover the three Districts of Kotido, Kaabong, and Abim. It is to them that we intend to direct monetary help so that they can purchase food for these vulnerable people. They won’t be eating turkey and Christmas Pudding, etc. The diet will be simple enough – maize flour, kidney beans, milk powder, and cooking oil. With your help, however, they will not be hungry at Christmas. Donate Now through Charity Choice, a secure web site managed by the Co-op |
