We lost everything in the landslide: help the Greenfield district start over

After the landslide, families in the Greenfield district need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

The landslide hit the Greenfield district on 16 March. My home was one of 25 damaged, and 2 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall. The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming. Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before. We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $1,500 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $220 • Clean water and purification supplies: $180 • Roofing sheets and timber: $730 • Food parcels for displaced families: $370 Thanks for being kind about this.

    How is Mukasa doing now?

    • Rakesh G. Joshi

      thanks for sharing this, Mukasa. More neighborhoods should do this. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!

      • Alberto C. Pacheco

        Keep going, Mukasa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
