HOPE AWAY FROM HOME

Join Us in Supporting the Elderly in Kyaka II Refugee Settlement! On December 24th, 2024, we began an initiative to provide food, sanitation products (including soaps), and shoes for elderly individuals aged 70 and above in Kyaka II Refugee Settlement. Initially, we assessed 40 beneficiaries, but upon returning to deliver the planned support, we discovered a significantly higher need. Kyaka II comprises nine zones, each with 2 to 6 villages. During our visits to four zones, covering six villages, we encountered over "80 elderly beneficiaries" in need of urgent assistance. This number reflects the magnitude of the challenges faced by the elderly population in the settlement. We are incredibly grateful to those who have already contributed, enabling us to reach this growing number of individuals. However, as the need continues to expand, we urgently call on "partners, organizations, and individuals" to join this movement. Our initiative runs until "December 30th, 2024", and our vision extends beyond immediate relief. We plan to assess and identify individuals who could benefit from "vegetable gardens" to support their long-term nutritional needs. Through this process, we’ve uncovered additional areas requiring exploration and assistance. "Why this matters:" The elderly are often a forgotten population, especially within refugee settlements. Their needs are immense, yet support is scarce. Together, we can change this reality. How to Help: - Donate food, shoes, or sanitation products. - Volunteer your time or skills. - Partner with us to scale this initiative. Let’s make a difference together. Open your hearts and hands for the elderly in Kyaka II. #HopeAwayFromHome #SupportTheElderly #RefugeeSettlement #CommunityCare #KyakaII
