Love In Action - Uganda 2025!

Jim and I are returning to Uganda in June 2025 to help the Love in Action team (Eve & Co) to provide life saving health care, distribute much needed food, and provide basic essentials such as underwear for children.  We have been coming to Uganda for over 10 years now, completing mission work, both with Links teams and also taking our own teams.  The area has so much poverty, and basic needs not always being met.  People live off of about £1 a day.  Water comes from wells, food cooked on outdoor fires, and sanitation comprising of pit latrines.   Health care is too expensive for the majority of people we work with.  Malaria is a big killer, yet it costs less than £5 to diagnose and treat it.   People just don't have that amount of money.

Our request is to raise much needed funds, so that we can provide several free health days for the communities.  This will then consist of tests for HIV and malaria alongside many other things.  We also aim to provide free mosquito nets.   We have seen first hand how these days literally save lives, as several people have come with malaria and have been seriously ill.  The team have been able to treat them (which included a baby) with medication and IV drips etc and it has saved their lives.  We also would like to go into the communities, providing rice, sugar and soap to those so much less fortunate than us.  I also would like to purchase underwear that we can give to children and young people, as many do not own such a thing.  We have been able to do this many times before, due to the kind generosity of people here.  On one occasion a mother tried to give me her baby, as she said I could give them a better life.  That is how tragic life is for people there.  It is both amazing and distressing when we do this work.  So little goes so far.  But it all seems so unfair! 

All the money raised go through a local charity in West Sussex, Links - which helps developing communities across the world.   I provide photos of all the work we do.   I actually help buy the sugar, rice etc, and decant it into kilo bags.  Jim and I pay all our own costs.   So all the money raised literally goes directly to the cause.  And the more money raised, the more good we can do!

We are also going to the Ugandan Pickleball Open competition, as it coincides with our visit.  So will be having some fun there, hopefully coaching a bit too!

So, I would be so grateful if you could donate some money,  so that we can spread our love to those less fortunate, providing healthcare, food and clothing, whilst also spreading the love of God.
