KASESE, UGANDA - In a heartfelt update from the field, Dr. Godius from Team TMC describes a desperate situation in Kibiri Village, one of the poorest in Muhokya Sub-County. With a population of 1200 children and 981 adults, the village is in dire need of basic services, particularly clean water.

The scarcity of clean water sources forces villagers to use contaminated water, leading to widespread health issues, especially among children. The emotional toll on the community is palpable, with Dr. Godius reporting a sense of profound sadness as he observed the villagers' struggles.

The statistics from Kibiri are stark: last year alone, 150 children and 70 adults lost their lives, numbers that underline the urgent need for intervention. Dr. Godius calls for immediate action, advocating for funding to provide clean water, medical care, and other vital resources to this beleaguered community.

The plea from Kibiri Village is clear: without support, the cycle of poverty and disease will only deepen. Dr. Godius's report is a call to action for all who can contribute to making a tangible difference in the lives of Kibiri's residents.
