World Vision distributes food to South Sudanese refugees in Uganda

Thursday, January 8, 2015

As part of World Vision’s South Sudan emergency response we are currently distributing food to families and children who have fled to Uganda, in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP)

Andrew Iraguha, World Vision Uganda’s Food Resource Manager, says the food distribution will last for 15 months:

"As a refugee enters Uganda, we provide them with high-energy biscuits which take them up to the reception centres. At the reception centres the refugees are getting hot meals currently being provided by our local partners."

The food being distributed includes cereals like rice and Sorghum, pulses such as beans, soya beans, vegetable cooking oil and corn soya blend.
