Butaleja Flood Appeal

Story

On Thursday 4th April, parts of Butaleja District were hit by severe flooding after heavy rainfall caused two nearby rivers to burst their banks and overflow into the area.

Over 500 homes have been completely destroyed; families have been displaced; roads, bridges, health centres and schools have been damaged; and thousands have no access to safe drinking water - most of whom are children. The situation is ongoing as rain continues to fall, with more expected in the coming days.

Please donate to our appeal so we can support families with urgently needed items, including: emergency food packages, soap, jerrycans, blankets, tarpaulins, menstrual hygiene kits, mosquito nets and water treatment tablets. 

Your donation will also enable us to deliver longer-term relief and support, once the full extent of the devastation becomes clear over the coming weeks.

Thank you for your generosity as we work hard to support families facing despair at this time.
