Everyone

We all sit at one table.

Here and in Kampala, we're one family in Jesus. There's no "our table" and "their table". Just one table, with a place set for everyone this Christmas.

As we sit down to Christmas dinner, we'd love you to set one more place, by giving a food parcel to a child on our Nutrition programme in Uganda.

"I was hungry and you gave me something to eat."MATTHEW 25:35

Inside one parcel

A month of good food, all bought locally.

One parcel feeds one child and eases the pressure on the whole family.

Usually one child, often the youngest, joins the programme, so the family's money can stretch further. Mums learn to plan and cook nourishing meals on very little.

What one parcel starts

It starts with a parcel. It doesn't end there.

Our local Nutrition Champions know every family by name. The parcel is the door into a journey we walk with each family.

Champions like Hajati know every family by name. They visit, they teach, and they walk with mums until their children are growing well.

Last year the programme reached 87 people, including 66 children under five. 20 mums joined discipleship groups, and 4 new Champions were trained.

Good questions

How can I pray?

Pray for the families in Kampala: for good health, for children to grow strong, and for mums to know they're loved and seen. Pray for our Nutrition Champions as they visit homes and teach. And pray for a table this Christmas where everyone has a place. We'd love you to pray with us at your own Christmas table, too.

Where does my gift go?

Every gift funds Every Life's Nutrition programme in Uganda, this year or next, whether or not we reach our target.

Does my £12 buy a parcel that's handed out at Christmas?

A parcel is how we count gifts, not a promise that a set number of parcels goes out on Christmas Day. Your gift funds the programme all through the year, so children keep receiving food, teaching and care long after Christmas.

Why £12?

£12 is based on our Uganda team's costs for a month of food for one child, at current exchange rates, rounded to a simple figure. The real cost moves a little with the exchange rate.

Is it just food?

The parcel is the start. Our Champions screen children, visit families at home, teach cooking and hygiene, refer children for medical care, and invite mums into discipleship groups. Some mums go on to become Champions themselves.

Can I give monthly instead?

Yes. On the giving page you can switch between a one-off gift and a monthly one. Monthly gifts made through this appeal also support our Nutrition programme.

Can my church get involved?

We'd love that. Ask your church how many places it could set this Christmas, perhaps one parcel for every ten people. Get in touch and we'll send a notice slide and everything you need.

There's a place at the table for you, too.
