Video of Flood Relief Distribution in August

In May, 2020, when ground staff returned to work at Amari, the flooding situation became apparent. We put up some posts, and immediately Amari supporters asked, 'What can we do to help?"

What a blessing! Over the last five months, over $40,000 Australian has been donated for flood and COVID relief.

100% (and then some) of what reaches Uganda has been spent directly on flood-affected communities and individuals, and over 1000 households have been reached.

This has included over 12 tonnes of food relief, 500 tarpaulins, 800 jerricans and water-guard tablets, and cash relief for medical and housing assistance.

SO WHAT IS NEXT?

While authorities are working on the macro-level problems of resettlement, sanitation and medical issues, Amari would like to continue to assist at the microlevel. With water levels continuing to rise, and houses succumbing daily, people are in desperate need of tarpaulins to cover their temporary shelters, and for food relief.

Buliisa has 32 gazetted fishing landing sites (villages), and Amari has only assisted 5 of those. We would love to help more, especially some of the bigger ones like Kabolwa, Butiaba and Wanseko. (Video below of the Amari August distribution)
