The Swiss Barakah charitable organization, located in Mbale, has partnered with the KAZI NI KAZI Foundation to provide food rescue to flood victims in Palam Katakwi district.
After visiting the flood-affected residents of Palam, Daniel Mulalu Ngariam, the senior private secretary in charge of political mobilization and affairs in the president’s office, concluded that immediate action was required due to the severity of the floods.
200 bags of posho food relief, valued at millions of shillings, were given to victims of the Palam floods by Daniel Mulalu, the president’s private secretary in charge of political mobilization and affairs.
Flood victims Betty Isike, Francis Adoket, and Emmanuel Ojirot, Palam locals who received 10 kgs of posho apiece, praised Mulalu’s lobbying efforts from the Barakah charity, calling it a timely rescue and describing him as a true leader.
According to them, Mulalu has spared them from spending UGX 24,000 on 10 kgs of posho due to a shortage of funds.
Simon Peter Seno, a member of KAZI NI KAZI Foundation stated that they are committed to combating poverty and improving the lives of communities.
Imaikorit, the general chairman of LC Ones in Palam sub county, requested that food aid be extended to the villages of Aleles, Lia, Aelenyang, Arusiakan, Oramon, Olioangoi, and Olilim.
Betty Abur, the district councilor representing Palam, stated that the district has received a contribution of 300 tents from OPM, as well as a government donation of 300 tarpaulins to flood-affected sub-counties.
The LCV Geoffrey Omolo expressed gratitude for Swiss Barakah’s quick action, which called for additional stakeholder aid.
