COVID-19 in Namutumba

Namutumba has had a hard time dealing with COVID-19. The pandemic has exacerbated food shortages and the need for cleaning and hygiene supplies. We have managed to raise more than $34k, which has paid for two doses of the COVID vaccine and a booster shot for every eligible person--Jews and non-Jews--in the village!
