Our latest Agriculture project in East Africa is complete!

12 April 2021 12:22
Over the past few months as part of our emergency work, we've been supporting agriculture projects in South Sudan to help tackle the food insecurity.
 
120 local farmers who live in and around MIjale, Northern Uganda, have benefitted from this project. We have been truly humbled by the inspiring stories that we have heard and know that your donations have truly changed the lives of many. Read some of our latest beneficiary stories below:

Meet Mr Abraham and his family. When the war broke out in 2016, they fled from South Sudan and settled in Mijale, Northern Uganda and have lived here ever since. After taking part in the latest agriculture project and reaping a successful and fruitful harvest, this family have been able to purchase one goat as well as 5 iron sheets from which they are building a brand new house. 

 

After losing her husband from the South Sudan war, this lady is now 40 years old and looks after her 7 children (3 boys and 4 girls). Due to a good harvest, she was able to sell her healthy crops, used the money to buy iron sheets and constructed a house for her family to live in. We are amazed at her skills and strength to do this - what a woman!

 

Meet Jamima, 32 year old chaplain who is married to his wonderful wife.  As a result of taking part in this project, they were able to buy 2 x hens to lay eggs and improve their diet. 

 

Behind this gentleman's beaming smile is an incredible story of transformation. After selling cabbages and onions from his field, he raised enough money to buy a sheep to help him with additional farming and provide milk to improve his diet. "There is a lot of improvement in my feeding. I am living positive and having a good balanced diet (means) good health."
