OUR COVID-19 RESPONSE

Handwashing is the first form of defence against diseases like COVID-19.

But what if you don’t have clean water?

What are we doing?

Our team on the ground are all set and ready to repair bore holes so that remote communities in northern Uganda have the opportunity to protect themselves against this dreadful disease.

We just need your help.

The situation can become distressing quickly – the pandemic will place pressure on the already weakened health system.

By providing clean water you can help reduce the pressure and protect vulnerable communities.

Cents for Seeds
Cents for Seeds is a micro-loan project running in northern Uganda. Uganda is home to some of the most fertile land in the world, however, in the years following the war, the people did not have anything to farm with. Beginning in 2011 with just 100 women, Cents for Seeds will reach 13,800 in 2018. Our mission is to provide loans to 20,000 women by the year 2020.

Raised: $26,520
Goal: $20

Kristina is providing primary medical care including triage and appropriate treatment, disease testing, inoculation, medication dispensing and education. The most common illnesses are malaria, typhoid, cough and flu, pneumonia and other serious conditions including internal organ issues requiring referral to Lira Regional Hospital.

Illustrate it yourself - Kids book!

GET YOUR KIDS STORY BELOW

School Holidays are upon us! How is time going so fast and slow at the same time?

We were thinking about our own kids at home, and how we have always wanted a version of Julius’ story to tell them. It is so encouraging and eye opening for kids.

So, after you put your email in, you receive a link direct to your inbox that is the kids version of Founder Julius Achon’s story. The purpose is to ‘Illustrate it yourself’ , so kids can illustrate in whatever way they like – painting, drawing, cutting and pasting… anything!

It also can just be read as a story in quiet time.

Don’t forget to share your creations with us on @Lovemercyfoundation for both Instagram and Facebook!

Who we are

Love Mercy began in 2010 in Sydney, Australia after Eloise Wellings, Australian Olympian, met Ugandan Olympian and former child soldier, Julius Achon. She promised to fulfill his dream of restoring hope to his village in Northern Uganda after decades of civil war. Love Mercy sees a future where Northern Uganda is transformed through simple solutions to poverty. Our two main projects, Cents for Seeds and the Kristina Health Centre, increase access to education, health care, and income generation and are funded entirely by generous donations from the public. We need your help.
