Donate to Feed Sudanese Refugees facing hunger in Uganda.

YSI Sudan Refugee project is a project under Youth Smile initiative a registered NGO in Uganda aimed at reducing hunger which is killing Sudanese in the Kiryandongo refugee settlement.Over 4000 people are facing severe acute food insecurity in the camp.The humanitarian community has been warning for months that people especially children are dying due to hunger related causes across.Unfortunately the situation in the camp has deteriorated significantly especially the recent news of decline in the food supply by the authority.

The deteriorating security situation in Sudan resulting from the ongoing civil war between the two rival factions of the military

government of Sudan, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is the reason more Sudanese refugees into Uganda.

The GOvernment of Uganda opened up Kirayndono refugee settlement loctd in Mid-Western region of Uganda to be the resettlement site to the newly arriving refugees and asylum seeker from Sudan.

According to Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) field offices in Kiryandongo where the new arrivals are being resettled, the number of new arrivals per day is 200 asylum seekers who come on their own, in addition to another 160 individuals who are oficially relocated during a weekly convoy from the South Sudan border of Nimule through Nyumanzi reception centre in Adjumani district. This weekly bus covoy is however being hampered by the current closure of Karuma bridge that is currently under repair and thus.

There is a state of emergency in the camp with food shortages.This is because the government and other agencies have cut off the budget for food to feed the Kiryandongo refugee settlement hence creating a crisis in the camp.Hunger is the order of the day whereby the food supply was cut off by 60% leading to a crisis.

Therefore on that note YSI is stepping in to solve the problem of hunger in the camp.We managed to provide food boxes to 1000 Sudanese refugees in Kiryandongo Camp during our first distribution leaving out almost 3000 people due to lack of enough resources.

We are therefore looking at raising 20000$ to support our next food distribution whereby we are looking at providing another 1000 food boxes .

The food box Contains rice,beans,sugar,posho,soap,cooking oil,wheat,and this can cater them for almost 2weeks and a half:

If you are able to donate to help us continue with our phase two food distribution where we are looking at providing food boxes to 1000 Sudanese people in the camp that can cater for 2 weeks..Please contact us via our email address([email redacted]) or
