During this Lenten season, CARITAS For Children invites you to practice almsgiving in a truly meaningful way. We are launching a Lenten Food Basket Campaign to provide the neediest families in our program with essential food supplies for Easter.

For $75, you can feed a family of five for an entire week ensuring they have food as they celebrate the joy of Easter.

Our team will personally deliver these baskets to families, just as we did during Christmas and the COVID-19 lockdowns.




Why This Matters

Many of the families we serve in Uganda face extreme poverty and struggle to afford even the most basic necessities. This Easter, with your generosity, we will deliver food baskets filled with staple ingredients and nourishing meals to the 200 poorest families in our program.

• Bread (2 loaves) – A rare treat that brings joy to kids and adults alike.
• Maize Flour (25kg bag) – Used to prepare posho, a staple Ugandan dish similar to porridge.
• Rice (10kg bag) – A cherished staple, especially for special occasions.
• Chicken (1 whole) – A valuable source of protein, often reserved for holidays and celebrations.
• Cooking Oil (3 liters) – Essential for traditional stews and frying food.
• Sugar (3kg) – Used for making tea and baked goods.
• Salt (2 packs, 1kg each) – A necessity in meal preparation.
• Onions & Tomatoes – Key ingredients in making flavorful sauces and stews.
• Soda (1.5L bottle) – A small joy to celebrate Easter, often seen as a luxury in poor households.
• Matchbox (1 pack) – A small but crucial item for cooking.

Donate today and make this Easter a true celebration! Our team is ready and committed to delivering this food and sharing Christ’s love with those in need.
