During our extra Covid activities in the Namatala slum, our family support team is constantly on the look out to help vulnerable people who cannot work for themselves and therefore struggle to buy food.
People like this older lady don’t need to have children at our schools to receive support; we are keen to help anyone who is in dire need. Many such people continue to receive essentials including food, cooking utensil and hygiene products.
Hunger and Covid-19 are leading causes why the elderly people in the slum die, so our ongoing community support puts us in the frontline in fighting hunger-related deaths among them.
