Flood Relief for the Abayudaya Community

The FJMC and the Seaboard Region are making an emergency appeal to support the Abayudaya Men’s Club in Mbale, Uganda. The Mbale region has been victim of tremendous flooding at the end of July, 2022. We have received reports of hundreds of dead in the region, though at this point there are no reports of deaths within the Jewish community. I have also seen too many pictures showing people and livestock dead in the streets. All in the region have been impacted – damage to houses, loss of property, unsafe well water, and risk of water borne disease.

This is not a drill – the Jewish community of Uganda is suffering tremendously right now. Schools and businesses are closed, crops have been destroyed, and given the disaster, the cost of food is beyond what our Jewish brothers in Uganda can afford.

Seaboard is leading the way to collect and distribute funds raised from the FJMC. Please donate generously to these efforts using this link - http://abayudaya.seaboardfjmc.us/
