This March we are trying to distribute 3,000 seed loans to 3,000 NEW households who will participate in Cents for Seeds for the first time.
Cents for Seeds enables women to have a sustainable income to provide for themselves and their communities, while learning about the best ways to care for their environment while they farm their crops.
As of Thursday, 18th March Ugandan President Museveni has issued a statement stating all community and religious gatherings of 10 people or more are banned and schools are closed, all for the remainder of the month. We admire his proactivity in getting ahead of any possible outbreak in Uganda.
We are in the middle of distributing 17,800 seed loans to women across northern Uganda. Usually this looks like multiple parish gatherings in numbers of 300 – 600 at a time. While Museveni’s rule will change the way this looks, it is affording us the opportunity to be innovative in the face of crisis. We are responding rapidly with our team to ensure that seed loans will be continue to be distributed with new parameters.
We need your help now more than ever. A simple $30 donation can help to fill the remainder of the storehouse so these loans can be distributed and families can begin farming. They are relying on us.
Give!
The first and easiest way you can support our projects in northern Uganda is to give. Any amount goes a long way, and will contribute to empowering communities out of poverty. Some specific impact amounts are below:
$30 – 30kg Cents for Seeds loan for one woman or man and their family
$50 – Essential Medical Supplies for the Kristina Health Centre
$90 – 90kg of Seeds will provide 3 Cents for Seeds loans
$250 – Repair a broken well and restore water to a community
$1,000 – 1,000kg of seeds will provide 33 women with a loan, impacting most of a village
$7,500 – build a new well in a remote village desperately in need of water
