Famine Relief in Tesoland, Uganda

Recent video showing the results of months without substantial rainfall

Today, the people of Madoch, Uganda, are suffering from a drought and famine, and are in desperate need of assistance. Our group—Centre College students that have studied abroad with this very community— are working to raise $7500 (about 26 million Ugandan shillings) in order to aid 100 families during this time of famine.

A financial breakdown:
-Posho: 50k @ 3000 x 100 = 15million UGX
-Beans: 20k @ 5000 x 100 = 10 million UGX
-Salt: 3k @ 1000 x 100 100 = 300,000 UGX
-Sugar: 2k @500 x 100 = 500,000 UGX
-Transportation: 500,000 UGX
TOTAL: 26,300,000 (around $7500), which is around $75 per family to push through the drought.

Funds that are raised will be sent directly to a community leader in order to be properly disbursed; 100% will go to the community without any administration fees. Thank you so much for your time.

Help spread the word! This community has given so much to us, and we are now hoping to give back during this difficult period.
