South Sudanese refugees living in refugee settlements in Uganda – including pastors in the Edgewood Network and their families – are going hungry.

Uganda supports hundreds of thousands of refugees from South Sudan, The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and other East African countries. Edgewood works with pastors and churches who minister to these refugees, primarily in the BidiBidi and Kiryandongo refugee settlements. In recent months, the United Nations World Food Program has reduced its allocation to refugees in this part of the world. As a result, many of our pastors and churches do not have food to feed themselves and their children. Through our partnership with RECSEN*, Edgewood has the opportunity to provide relief to pastors and families in our network.

Edgewood has an immediate need to raise $35,000, which will enable us to feed 200 adults and children for the next six months. The staff of RECSEN will distribute the food directly to these areas AND train those in the churches in the regenerative farming techniques that will help them meet this need for themselves in the future. Would you help us meet this need? Your gift will help these pastors feed their families and churches, while putting them on a path to meeting this need for themselves in the future.

* RECSEN is a distinctly Christian agri-business project in Northern Uganda that Edgewood helped to launch. Over the past year and half RECSEN has trained 1,500 small farmers in Uganda in conservation/regenerative farming techniques.
