Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in Uganda, many Ugandans are home with barely anything to eat. This is because of the preventive measures that were put in place by the government to control the spread of the deadly pandemic.
.
The government closed; shopping malls, arcades, hardware shops, non-food stores, non-food markets, garages and suspended; movement in and out of the country, public and private transport, Boda Bodas, Tuk-Tuks, coaches, Buses and air transport.
Gatherings of more than 5 people, communal weddings, churches, political rallies, events, and movements of any form from 7:00 pm to 6:30 am were also prohibited.
.
Since the majority of Ugandans survive on daily income, these preventive measures have made it extremely difficult for these people to acquire food for themselves and their families.
.
Due to the high demand for food in the region, The True Worship Centre – Jinja donated 2000kgs of maize flour to the government’s “COVID-19 task force”. We hope that this food will sustain a few families for some time as we pray to God to provide more.
To God be the glory.
