Often women in Uganda are expected to carry the care burden at home, for example, cooking food and serving it, declining to provide this service can make you a failed woman making it hard to find a concrete relationship with a man at home.
The fastest way to achieve gender equality would be to start by teaching boys, raising young men in the right way. Teaching them housework, teaching them that care work is for everyone so that they grow up knowing that women’s place is not in the kitchen. By doing this we will build a society that seeks to progress women and they will not be held back by outdated biases that say caregiving childbearing is what women are meant for.
Today the world celebrated women’s day, JFM also celebrated women in a loving mood when we visited an old granny with food and sugar with a word of hope. Her flowing favor made her neighbors also benefit from JFM.
William J. Wegener (Bill) is the founder and director of JesusFedMe.com, a ministry with a simple yet powerful mission: to feed the hungry, share the gospel of JESUS CHRIST, and transform lives in Uganda. Bill believes that meeting both physical and spiritual needs is the best way to reflect the love of GOD, and through JFM, countless lives have been touched.
Under his leadership, JesusFedMe.com has:
Delivered food daily to poor families and orphans. | Dug wells to provide clean water to villages. | Built homes and resource centers for struggling communities. |. Established the Miracle Medical Center (MMC) in Nakaseke District, providing medical care where none was available. |. Launched the CVTI Skilling Center, offering vocational training and hope for the future.
Bill’s heart for the poor flows from the words of JESUS in Matthew 25:35: “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in.” He often says that every bag of rice delivered, every child clothed, and every prayer offered is a reminder that GOD’s love is real and practical.
None of this would be possible without faithful donors who give generously. Bill sees himself not just as a director, but as a steward—ensuring that every dollar makes a difference in feeding the hungry and leading souls to CHRIST. His vision is to see communities in Uganda transformed, both physically and spiritually, through the power of the gospel and the kindness of those who support the work.
