Uganda is one of the poorest countries in the world, with a population size of 45.8 million people. More than 30% of Uganda’s population lives below the poverty line. The east African country struggles with shortages of basic needs such as lack of food, education and health care. Uganda faces droughts and floods as a result of climate change which affects the country’s food production. Furthermore, the COVID pandemic has left a big impact on Uganda’s economy. The difficulties Uganda is faced with are of multiple types which require different solutions.

Sadaqah Smile will be traveling in May to aid the needy in Uganda. The team will head towards Eastern Uganda to an area called Makenya. Many families, orphans and sick people in this area are desperately in need of our help. With project Aid for Uganda we aim to build multiple wells in different villages. We also plan to distribute food packages, provide wheelchairs for the disabled and distribute clothes to the orphans.
