Story

Christmas meals for slum families

After another year of Covid-19 lockdowns and food shortages in Namatala slum, please could you help us give slum families a special Christmas treat?

When we did this last year, children and their families ate well on Christmas Day and Boxing Day... and they still talk about it. Since then, children have been stuck at home for the entire year; it would be fantastic to bless them all again with Christmas food.

We have been supporting hundreds of families throughout Covid-19 lockdowns and curfews, which have seriously reduced food availability and inflated prices. The entire families of our pupils, plus other desperately needy families have benefited. Tons and tons of maize flour, beans, salt and soap have been given out.

This year, our Christmas food provision will again be rice, meat and vegetables for each family to cook at home. To feed around 5,000 people it will cost £5,000... just £1 per person. We know times are tough for many people at the moment, but if you would like to contribute, please donate.

OUR LATEST CHRISTMAS VIDEO: Starring Child of Hope pupils, this latest fun video shows the kids longing for school to open again... and nearly getting there. It is under five minutes and we hope you enjoy it!

Any additional funds over our target will be used to support slum children and families throughout the year.
