With so much danger in Uganda, what the people eat is crucial to survive. An often overlooked part of what they eat is how they go about eating it. In America, most families have access to clean surfaces where they can put a dish on after its been used. Dish washers are popular as they offer a way to both remove bacteria and food residue while also allowing the dishes to dry. In Uganda, such luxuries are not known to most of the people there. Many are taught to let their plates dry in the dirt since they have no better alternatives, unaware of the dangerous bacteria and parasites that may lurk within.
At Anchor of Hope, our job is to help feed and take care of as many people as we possibly can. One important aspect of that is taking the time to help educate people on what they can do to help keep themselves healthy while they eat. While we train each of our caregivers and parents on how to have proper nutrition and hygiene, we also have many of our staff take time to help the community by building tools for them to put the right techniques into practice.
These drying racks are small changes, but they do so much in order to help out the people who live there. By protecting the people from bacteria, the adults are able to stay strong and help each other, while the children are much more likely to grow up strong in the Lord. By caring for the needs of the people through these acts of servitude, we are able to demonstrate the love of Christ to them and the world, bringing people to Him to be saved.
Our mission is to help the people of Naluko and the surrounding villages in Uganda, who though forgotten by the world bear the image of our Lord. It does not take mountains to be moved, but simple yet impactful changes that change lives and provide Hope.
