Update: The Crisis in Uganda has Escalated - Please help!

Video above is one of the many children who are stranded, with no food or water, separated from their parents by murderous rebel attacks – Uganda.

He was found on 1-19-2023

Uganda is facing continued violence from the rebels, Allied Democratic Forces (ADF).

Our colleagues Gerald Nasasira, Executive Director, and Dr. Gilbert Beingana, Ruralcare Empowerment International Uganda have informed PTP that the murder of village members and the abduction of children has continued and is compounding the crisis of families and children without food or shelter.

In his latest email message, Mr. Nasasira implored, "Kindly get in touch with my elder David Wick so that you can help contribute money towards helping the people facing this high-level violence. And our target is to raise $4,300 to help the people get food and get the peace they deserve as a right given to them from God."

Please see below to make donations. Thank you.

The villagers that have fled have now been out of their homes with scarce food and water for many weeks. The killing and kidnappings continue, and they cannot go home. They must depend on the food and water Gerald and his team provide if they are to survive this crisis until it is safe to go home. Gerald and his team are depending on us. Together, our contributions save lives!

Many local community leaders have reached out for help for funds and food to Gerald Nasasira*, Executive Director, Ruralcare Empowerment International Uganda. Mr. Nasasira and his leadership team are working with Pathways To Peace on a Peace Education program that will be extended to 40 communities in his Western Uganda region.

Pathways To Peace and Mr. Nasasira are teaming up again to raise $4,300.00 for food and water in this time of crisis. We need your help to do this as quickly as possible. 100% of donated funds will go directly to Ruralcare Empowerment International Uganda for this crisis.
