At least 12.3 % of children in Uganda are orphans. 420,000 of these orphans have lost only a mother and 1,330,000 a father. However, 402,500 of these are total orphans, having lost both parents, and these are the more likely to end up in orphanages.
Hunger in Uganda is growing
Children and adults are losing lives

The main cause of child hunger is poverty – and poverty has only increased since the pandemic began. It is estimated that over 100 million people could be thrown into extreme poverty this year as a result of COVID-19.

Each day, 25,000 people, including more than 10,000 children, die from hunger and related causes. Some 854 million people worldwide are estimated to be undernourished, and high food prices may drive another 100 million into poverty and hunger. But we believe if we stand together we can end hunger.
End hunger today
Every day too many men and women across the globe struggle to feed their children a nutritious meal. In a world where we produce enough food to feed everyone, 690 million people still go to bed on an empty stomach each night. Even more – one in three – suffer from some form of malnutrition.Eradicating hunger and malnutrition is one of the great challenges of our time. Not only do the consequences of not enough – or the wrong – food cause suffering and poor health, they also slow progress in many other areas of development like education and employment.
End Hunger Heroes Set up a monthly donation today to ensure that hungry people get the nutritious food they need month-after-month, no matter what.
