Dominic a 48 year old South Sudanese Refugee living at Boroli Refugee Settlement in Adjumani was severely manourished and with poor health due to lack of adquate and nutritious food. Eight Months into our walk with Dominic, today he is one of the healthy and strong patients living with HIV/AIDS.
In hios own words, Dominic Said ' I used to depend on entire food rations from the World Food Program which never enough and at times I could sleep on empty stomach which made me to avoid taking my HIV/AIDs medications on many occassions since the drugs are strong and needs one to feed very well before taking them. Ever since i received support of vegetable seeds and tools from Voice for Humanity Uganda, I have been able to produce my own nutritious food and i feel empowered now since i also sell some of my vegetables to buy other essential needs'.
In March 2024, Our team of social workers working in the refugee settlements met with Dominic and listened to his plight. Instead of giving him a one of assortment of nutritious food, our team agreed with Dominic that he would be supported with vegetable seeds and farming tools so that he is able to continue supporting himself by producing his own food as well sell some and earn income. This initiative has yielded positive results which has seen the physical and mental health of Dominic greatly improve.
We couldn't reach out to palliative care patients like Dominic without the support of donors like you. Your support restores hope and improves the quality of life of such patients and we are grateful for your generosity.
