Today I spoke with Sara Sebyala, director of the TOUCH program in Uganda. Sara has just finished a series of home visits throughout the Kitintale area of Kampala. The slum of Kitintale is home to over 17,000 people.
Families in Kitintale have typically only been able to afford one meal a day. Some of the children at Calvary Temple School there have told us that meal was often only a cup of tea.
Now, because the cost of food has continued to rise, families are cutting back to just one meal every two days. Can you imagine eating just one meager meal every two days? And that so-called meal is just a cup of tea, or thin porridge.
Even the school has had to cut back. Where students once had two meals each day, now there is only enough money to provide a lunch of posho and beans.
Sara's desire is to provide that second meal again, but she can't do it without your help! Can you skip one meal a month - or how about skipping a gourmet coffee now and then? We need people to commit to monthly gifts - any amount will help! You can make a monthly recurring gift from our main site - www.friendsoftouch.org.
You can also make a one-time gift to feed children here:
