FAMILY FOOD PACKAGES

Food is one of the most basic human needs, no person can survive without it. Yet, in many rural communities across Uganda, families go to bed hungry, surviving on less than two meals a day. For some, even the idea of having three meals daily feels impossible.

Despite progress in reducing poverty, over 7 million Ugandans still live below the poverty line according to the 2024 National Household Survey. Hunger and malnutrition remain serious challenges, especially among vulnerable households. National data shows that over 2.4 million children are affected by stunting, a sign of chronic malnutrition that has lifelong consequences. In some regions, thousands of children continue to require urgent treatment for acute malnutrition each year.

In many of these households, women are the backbone of survival, struggling daily to provide food for their families despite limited income opportunities. When empowered and supported, these women can transform not only their households but entire communities. However, without access to food, families are trapped in a cycle of hunger, illness, and poverty.

Twahirah Islamic Charity Organisation (TICO) is responding to this urgent need by providing family food packages to vulnerable households.

A small food package costs USD 30, while a large package costs USD 60, helping families access essential meals and regain stability.

Your support can make the difference between hunger and hope. By contributing to this initiative, you are not just providing food, you are restoring dignity, improving health, and giving families a chance to rebuild their lives.
