Flood update

Update on the flooding situation where many of children live in Bwaise.

So far we believe no one has hurt but at least five of our most vulnerable families, including Grace who recently took in Queenie, have been badly affected.

The water in drainage channels has overflowed, washing filthy water from open sewers into their house with such force it has either washed away or contaminated their few possession including clothes, bedding and vital ARV medication.

We have children from the worst affected families sleeping in the office tonight.

It rained again this afternoon and we're hoping for their sake, that it does not rain again tonight.

We're still assessing the situation but we know that there are families we work with who are so poor they won't recover from this without a little help.

If you are able to help with a small donation of any amount we will make sure 100% of it goes to those that need it.

More updates from us tomorrow.
