Monday 16th October is World Food Day and GlobalGiving have presented us with an amazing opportunity to double the value of donations we receive.
Our project has been helping to feed a group of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) near the Ugandan border of South Sudan. These people have been forced to flea horrific violence and are now camped in terrible conditions with very little support. The donations we’ve already received has helped us deliver 3 batches of aid to this camp providing months of food rations but also seeds and farming equipment so they can grow and harvest their own food - the fruits of which can already be seen.
We have targeted the most vulnerable for this aid but the truth is there are many thousands who need this help so the more funding we can source, the more people we can help.
This Monday is an opportunity to donate to this project and have your donation doubled by GlobalGiving. For one day only, any donations this project receives via our GlobalGiving page will be 100% matched (up to $1000) meaning your donation can do twice as much good.
The campaign starts from 2pm U.K. time (9am EDT) so please make sure your donation falls in the qualifying period. Even a small gift will make a difference so please donate if you can. Just a few pounds or dollars can buy enough equipment for a family to produce their own harvest and feed themselves. What outcome could be better on World Food Day than providing a desperate family with a sustainable source of food?
Thank you so much for your support.
