Access to good food remains a pressing concern for the citizens of Uganda, as the cost of food continues to soar. This surge in prices has made it challenging for low-income families to afford nutritious meals, with the average cost of a family meal currently standing at 50,000 Uganda Shillings, which includes only Posho (wheat flour), and not even rice.
Uganda’s citizens are calling upon the government to take swift action to address this alarming situation. They are appealing to the authorities to provide practical solutions to the crisis without delay. The escalating food prices have forced many Ugandans to resort to consuming inferior quality food, posing severe health risks.
We express our gratitude to JFM for providing free, high-quality food to those in need, and we thank our generous donors for their continuous support.
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.
