Supporting Local Pandemic Response
Small Actions Equal Big Impact
At FCDE, we know that small actions can make a big impact in people’s lives. During this crisis we have provided emergency funding from $100 to $500 USD to supplement immediate response activities and support organizations deploying frontline workers to meet the basic needs of the most vulnerable. So far, our staff has worked with the District Task Forces in Kasese and Rukungiri and 24 local partners to expand grassroots initiatives addressing the most pressing issues in their communities. Connecting over 1,600 people with food, hand washing and hygiene resources, medication, and mask-making supplies, FCDE’s Emergency Response Fund projects demonstrate the ingenuity of our local partners and the deep community impact we are creating together during this unsettling time.
