Many mothers in Uganda have daily struggles to feed their kids. These mothers are among the many who find it hard to have meals daily due to poverty and poor living standards. Enticed into relationships with irresponsible men reasoning that “they can handle anything,” forgetting having children is a full-time responsibility. Then, when the situation worsened, men ran away, denying their duties of taking care of their families.
Fathers in Africa have entirely failed to be men of their words by leaving their wives struggling with kids. The situation for such families is dire, especially now with the past lockdowns from covid. Most men who live as casual workers who spare little money for families prove woefully inadequate. Many dads would love to look after their family but so often are constrained by poverty.
The frequent scarcity of food at home means most kids stay hungry. The first time JFM came into this place, kids worked in the scorching sun breaking stones in a quarry. Struck by how unhealthy they looked, we knew they were burdened with hunger.
You can be part of this ministry by donating to feed hungry families.
“It is important for people to realize that we can make progress against world hunger, that world hunger is not hopeless. The worst enemy is apathy.” –Reverend David Beckmann
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.
