Provide One Meal Per Day For Street Children.
We provide one meal a day to approximately 80 street children in Mbarara Town, Uganda.
Typically, these children beg, sell trash, or scavenge through garbage cans to find their meals.
All these children have been addicted to drugs and medication since they were young.
Every Wednesday, we visit the children, distribute lunch boxes, and every other week, we provide 100kg of rice and 30kg of lentils as a two-week supply of food. This quantity allows them to have one meal a day.
During Christmas and Easter, we slaughter goats to make meat soup for the children and celebrate Mass together.
After introducing the work that Kkottongnae does to the children, some of them voluntarily became members. Currently, every Wednesday, we collect membership fees from the children, ranging from 100 shillings, 200 shillings, to 500 shillings. With the money collected, we buy eggs and food, and then we seek out and share them with patients who have no one to care for them during visits to hospitals on Easter and Christmas.
<Per Month> Providing One Meal a Day
– Posho (cornmeal): 200kg (200kg x 3,000 = 600,000 UGX) – Beans: 60kg (60kg x 4,000 = 240,000 UGX)= Total of 840,000 UGX per month = Approximately USD 227 dollars (1 dollar = 3,700 UGX)
- Assisting Patients at the National Hospital
- Every Wednesday, we visit Umbarara National Hospital to assist patients who have been abandoned, left without care, unable to receive treatment, and are neglected without food.
- Patients without caregivers, those with nowhere to go, and especially those with mental health issues who have no place to turn are brought to Kkottongnae.
- Patients who have been left untreated for lack of surgery funds or have been neglected for an extended period due to a lack of funds for tests and medication are brought to Kkottongnae for treatment.
Patients are required to cover expenses such as surgery costs, examination fees, and medication expenses, among others.
(The amounts may vary depending on the circumstances, roughly around USD $200 per month.)
