The number of people affected by hunger globally rose to as many as 828 million, according to research in 2021. We know many people are facing food insecurity, especially in Africa, particularly in Uganda. The situation might worsen due to the displacement of people who lack permanent settlement and keep moving from one place to another.
It’s a significant daily threat to many locals to live without food. Many people are in vulnerable situations, especially those advanced in years. Most people we help live in precarious conditions in churches or old-fashioned structures transformed into shelters depending on the kindness of JFM.
We are so proud as JFM to be part of the lives of those people who are in a threatening situation of hunger. We sincerely thank our dear donors who donate to make a difference every day.
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.
