Caring granny’s foundation to feed some of Isingiro’s hungry
Through her Joyce Kaffoko Foundation therefore, she has decided to give a food contribution to the people of Isingiro district.
At 76 years of age, Joyce Kaffoko refuses to sit and watch the vulnerable starve. Through her Joyce Kaffoko Foundation therefore, she has decided to give a food contribution to the people of Isingiro district. The Joyce Kaffoko Foundation is a new Non-Governmental Organization, with operations mainly in the districts of Isingiro and Mbarara.
“With the ongoing lockdown in the country as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Hannington Musinguzi, the NGO’s chairman said on behalf of Joyce Kaffoko. “So many families have been affected financially leaving them without food supplies and other basic necessities for survival.” So in a bid to make their contribution towards the strides to help the vulnerable, they organized a contribution of 1000 Kgs of Maize flour for the people of Isingiro.
To ensure therefore that as many households as possible got food, they split into 5kgs as was seen in their letter to the District Resident Commissioner. “The purpose of this letter is to request your office to receive this maize flour, packaged in 200 bags of 5kgs each for onward distribution to the most vulnerable families in Isingiro District, preferably, Masha sub-county,” he wrote.
To show her commitment and certify that all went well, Musinguzi added that Mrs. Joyce Kaffoko, the Patron of the Foundation would be available to make this handover in person.
