About this campaign
The sun burns hot over the orphanage in Masaka, Uganda. Ten-year-old Fred sits on the cracked red earth, staring at his empty bowl. His stomach growls, but he doesn’t complain. He hasn’t eaten since yesterday.
Around him, the other orphans are quiet too. Little Amina, just five years old, sucks her thumb to trick her belly into feeling full. Twelve-year-old Moses tries to smile, but his ribs press against his skin like sticks.
Inside the small, crumbling building, Edward Katongole counts the last coins in his pocket. The food ran out two days ago. The government promised help, but it never came. The schoolbooks are torn, the pencils broken. But Edward still gathers the children every morning under the mango tree to teach them letters in the dirt.
Fred listens carefully. He wants to learn. He wants to be a doctor one day. But the hunger makes it hard to think.
A visitor arrives—a woman from a charity. She asks Fred what he needs most.
"Food," he whispers. Then, after a pause, "And school."
That night, Edward prays aloud, his voice shaking. "God, send someone. Anyone."
Then a miracle.
A donation arrives. Just $20. Edward runs to the market and comes back with beans, maize flour, and a single new notebook.
Fred gets his first full meal in days. He holds the notebook like it’s made of gold.
This is happening right now.
Fred is real. Edward’s orphanage is real. The hunger is real.
-$50 feeds a child for a day
