Humanitarian & Emergency Relief
The Challenge: Responding to Crises in a Vulnerable Region
Uganda stands at the crossroads of regional instability and climate change. The nation generously hosts over 1.8 million refugees—the largest refugee population in Africa—fleeing conflict and persecution in South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan.3 This massive influx places an immense strain on already limited resources. Simultaneously, Ugandan communities are increasingly vulnerable to climate shocks like devastating floods, landslides, and prolonged droughts, which can wipe out harvests and lead to acute food insecurity.3 In these moments of crisis, swift and effective humanitarian aid is a matter of life and death.
