Your gift today provides urgent food support to malnourished children and mothers in Adjumani, Uganda.

Right now, thousands of refugee families in Adjumani, Uganda are struggling with severe food shortages. Many young children, breastfeeding mothers, and pregnant women are malnourished — putting their health, development, and survival at serious risk.

This Giving Tuesday, you can provide immediate, life-saving nutrition support. Your donation helps JRS/USA supply high-quality food supplements for at least two months for every child or mother we serve.

These emergency supplements help restore strength, reduce the risk of disease, support healthy pregnancies, and give growing children the nourishment they need to thrive.

Why Your Gift Matters

• Malnutrition is one of the most urgent threats facing refugee families in Uganda. Rising food insecurity, limited rations, and economic instability have left many households without essential nutrients.

• Mothers cannot breastfeed without proper nutrition. Without intervention, malnutrition affects both the mother and the newborn.

• Children under five are most at risk. Food supplements provide the critical calories, fats, and micronutrients needed for development.

Your support ensures refugees in Adjumani receive the nutritional care they urgently need — when they need it most.
