Buyamba Food Outreach

Worship reported that the food outreach team drove more than four hours this past weekend to reach the 100 student families that live in the far end of Jinja. The process required the team to stay overnight to distribute food to all the intended families. The situation in the outskirts of Jinja was far worse than the team had seen for the flood area was far-reaching, and stagnant water filled the area --which can bring more disease. It took awhile to find all the God Cares student families and the students who attended an approved school in Jinja called Blessed Hope School, for some families had been displaced.

Families had been told that the Buyamba Team was coming, and some traveled far to the central meeting place the team had set up. The 100 packages would be used to last them 3-4 weeks, depending on family size. The families were so grateful and excited to have the love, support, and prayers. They sent their gratitude and blessings to those that had given on their behalf.

There have been 700 packages total delivered to student and school families. Worship Dongo Byakika noted, "When we say we delivered packages for 100 families, we are feeding about 700 individual people for weeks."
