Christmas in Uganda

The villages are already asking: “Are you coming back this Christmas?”

Last year, one small church and a handful of donors fed 100 people in rural Uganda on Christmas Day. This year, we want to feed 200. $16 gives one person a full Christmas meal. Give by December 1 so the money reaches Uganda in time.

How It Started

A small church, a small village, and one whole cow

In the villages around our campus, Christmas is the one day families hope to eat meat. Many don't get it. Babies still go to bed hungry.

Last year, our founder Peace Daniel called Pastor Jim Thorn at Magnolia Baptist Church in Louisiana and asked for help. They gave what they had. Other donors joined in. Together, we bought a whole cow and fed 100 people on Christmas Day.

Nothing was wasted. Families took everything, down to the legs and the skin. All year since, villagers have stopped Peace's mother, Miss Betty, on the road to ask if we're coming back.

This year, we're answering yes. And we're bringing two cows.

A message from Peace

“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.”

Proverbs 19:17

Christmas Day

What your gift puts on the table

Our team in Uganda, led by Miss Betty, buys the cows and food at local markets, cooks it, and serves it under tents on Christmas Day.

After Christmas, we'll share photos from the day so you can see who you fed.

This gift costs $16. It needs no wrapping, it won't get returned, and it will be the best meal someone in a Ugandan village eats all year. We send the money to Uganda in early December, so gifts made by December 1 make it to the table.
