Farming Kindness
Donation protected
With your help we will start "Farming Kindness" in Kabale Uganda and help a community of elderly people with Alzheimers, disabilities or illnesses farm food for themselves and their families.
We will be leasing fertile land for a period of 5 years and provide for the crops. The families will be the ones to put in all the work. They have the abilities and the will to do so, all they lacked unitil now was the opporturnity which we will give them with this project.
Furthermore we hope to obtain a surplus that will alllow us to sell some of the food to generate money to save for future leases and maybe even to provide for other necessities like water and soap.
My name is Larissa Furtwengler and I am a PhD sutdent in Heidelberg Germany. Research for my PhD brought me to Uganda, and I also had the chance to travel the "Pearl of Africa" and was amazed by the breathtaking beauty of this country and the humbling hospitality of its population. Since my time in Uganda I have been involved with Isaac and the amazing community around him of the Hope Health of Adult Day Care Center Uganda situated in the stunning area of Kabale and Lake Bunyonyi in southern Uganda.
In his quest to spread awareness for Alzheimer's disease and Dementia in Uganda Isaac realized qickly that so many of them are literally starving. There is next to no government support for the elderly and many struggle to meet their needs once they are no longer able to work and are living in very isolated areas on and around the lake. In addition to that many of those vulnerable old people are the sole caretakers of their families due to losing their childern early to illnesses and other causes.
The impact reliable access to food will make in their lives cannot be qunatified. I think I speak for most of us when I say that I have never truely experienced hunger and can only imagine what it might feel like to not be able to eat for days and days on end and not being able to feed your children and grandchildren.
While we are tirelessly working on building sustainable projects that allow these elderly people to built a life for themselves and not be dependent on donations, the urgency of this matter led us to decide to act quickly and ask for your help.
From my personal experience with donating to Hope Health of Adult Day Care Center Uganda and working with Isaac and his team I can assure you that the money goes exactly and entirely to this great cause and the execution is documented and shared with all of you.
To express our gratitude for the donations we are giving away one
surprise package to one lucky winner among all donors (shipping within Europe) that contains one of the products of a project we hope to launch very soon.
