This June, we will again be working in Western Uganda helping with refugees who have fled from neighboring countries. An estimated 2 million refugees have escaped their home countries in South Sudan, Burundi, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, but mostly from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Near the border of Uganda and the Congo is one of the country’s largest refugee settlements called Kyangwali. With its estimated 125,000 refugees and 80% women and children from the Congo, we feel the need is great and want to do our part to help.

We will be focusing our efforts on a school that we’ve assisted before. These children at Planning 4 Tomorrow school in their crowded classrooms need safe drinking water and proper hygiene infrastructure. We will also be helping start a new clinic for the school and the neighboring community. With nurses staffed 24 hours a day, a laboratory and a pharmacy, this will be a great and needed addition to the school and refugee settlement.

If you would like to help these young students living in Kyangwali refugee settlement, please donate here. 100% of any kind donation will be used to help this school stop the spread of diseases such as typhoid and cholera. As we all know, personal hygiene is essential for maintaining good health, but especially in an overcrowded refugee school. With safe water, better hygiene, and an on-site clinic, we aim to give these children a better life. Thank you for your help.
