COVID-19 Effects at Pearls Home
Though the kids are safe, food has gotten expensive
The pandemic and ensuing lockdown in Jinja, Uganda has caused food prices to soar. Vegetables and grains are two to three times more expensive. The children are eating one meal a day.
A mother with two children were walking by the Pearls compound yesterday when the mother collapsed from hunger. They were trying to walk to their village where they’d find support. The children saw them and Rosette reported to the Local Chair who got them food and helped them on their way. The Ugandan lockdown is so oppressive!
Here’s an opportunity to help. A few dollars buys a lot in Jinja. This pot of vegetables costs only pennies!
