Roughly 16% of child mortality cases in Uganda are caused by pneumonia. Symptoms of the illness include chest pain, persistent coughing, fever, and low body temperature. About 99% of pneumonia cases occur in less-developed countries such as Uganda, indicating the correlation between poverty and pneumonia. In poverty-stricken areas, malnutrition, poor air quality, and limited access to healthcare cause the development and dispersion of pneumonia among a population. As a result, children in Uganda are vulnerable and quickly become victims of the illness.
A study shows that nearly half of all child deaths in Africa stem from hunger. Overall, 5.6 million children under age five died in 2016, about 15,000 daily (World Health Organization [WHO]). The risk of a child dying before five years of age is highest in Africa (76.5 per 1000 live births).
We wish to thank our generous donors for helping us feed the needy children in Uganda. We couldn’t do it without you. What we do is like a drop of water in the ocean, but to the families that received food gifts, it’s the world.

It is truly the Love that these works for God have received from HIM. Recognizing that, despite their sinful nature, God empowers them to feed his people. In our time, it is difficult to understand. We want to call out those who have turned away to feed their own greed as a means to their own survival. But in Deuteronomy 31:8, “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” And so one of HIS many are JFM following faithfully ” Feed my people! ” Thank you for your will to serve and bring joy for the moments that are HIS to see and entrust in you.
