Famine Relief Phase 4 Update

The famine relief phase 4 is complete! Our team distributed 28,000 pounds of food to 540 families. During this effort our team assessed 308 people for malnutrition including some first time patients aswellas those those we are already monitoring and rehabilitating. 30 recoveries were assesed bringing the total number of people who have fully recovered to 67!! A total of 50 patients have improved markedly but are still under rehabilitation. We also registered a total of 40 newly diagnosed cases of severe acute malnutrition bringing the total of severely malnourished patients 103. These villagers are now under TCI treatment, monitoring and rehabilitation.

One of our Uganda team members, Isaac, who moved to Moroto, Karamoja reported the following:

“We want to thank God who is continuing to provide for His people to have hope to live and have a chance to thrive amidst the persistent dry spell and drought conditions. When we meet kids who had pot bellies and they have significantly improved, we are to thank God even more! The elderly are looking stronger than they were before.

The joy characterized by singing and dancing and melodies of the now hopeful elderly in their local languages significantly influenced our worship of God the provider. The wide smiles, the clapping, the laughter and musical expressions of the the people in Kamera and lokororiloti were so beautiful.

There is an outstanding rapport in the villages where we have distributed so far. At every village entrance handshakes are unavoidable with people expressing gratefulness for the food and most importantly that we remembered them.

Thank you for your support in making these efforts possible. What a privilege it is to distribute joy, along with food to those in need.
