Musician Eddy Kenzo was involved in a charity campaign over the weekend. The “Mbilo Mbilo” singer donated several food items to starving families in Mityana.
He explained the initiative saying:
“As I was watching news on one of the local tv station, they showed some people in some parts of Uganda that we completely starving without food or water to feed on. This was as a result of severe drought that hit them and dried off all their plantations. This touched my heart so much, I wished I could do something to rescue them from that situation. Because I well know how bad life is without food.
I contacted some of my friends to see what we could to save and help these brothers and sisters that were starving. And the people who responded quickly were Mr. Hith his wife Leira and their family and church .The Almighty God enabled us yesterday and we were able to give out some rice and beans to a few thousands of families in mityana districts that we were told were among the most affected areas hit by this long season of drought.
We also got a chance to visit some primary school of the deaf and supported them with some rice, beans and sch materials. We served about 4 villages in mityana district with a little we had and argued them to eat some and re harvest some for the future. There still more areas around the east and some parts of northern Uganda that are facing the same problem of drought and lack food to feed their families. I know we cant help everyone but anyone can help someone please do what you can in your area.”
