I could use your help with something.

There are lots of people who can use your help in the world right now. If you're helping any of them, thank you.

Let me tell you about some people I want to help, and invite you to join me if you can.

For a few months, I've been talking with @nuwagaba2 , who lives in the Kiboga District, Uganda. He is a teacher, and founder of the Fill The Empty Stomachs Farming Initiative, an NGO that has been feeding the hungry in his area. They provide free food for those who cannot afford to pay; any produce they do sell is used to sustain the project.

Fill The Empty Stomachs rented land to farm on, but renting is a short-term solution and unstable. They farmed rented land for a year, but their lease ended when the owner decided to use it for another purpose.

To make this work long-term, they need to buy land of their own. I want to help them do it. If you are in a position to help, I invite you to join me.

They have a GoFundMe set up, and it's almost halfway to its goal. Let's get it the rest of the way so that they can buy land. I will match any donation made in the next month (no need to tell me about it, I'll just watch the numbers on the page).

The GoFundMe is being run by a man in Wales who is trusted by Nuwagaba and his team.

While they raise money to buy land, they are still busy: they have shifted their focus to education, teaching others in the area to improve their own farms. They have started a small chicken business.

I met Nuwagaba here on the Fediverse, but have had hours of video calls with him. I got a tour of the rented land they used to farm. He's a teacher and I'm a professor, so we've talked about the education systems in our countries. We've talked about our hopes for the future - for the places we live and the people in our communities. I've met other people from Fill The Empty Stomachs, Mugisha and Timothy. These folks are serious about wanting to make things better for the poor in their area.

Look, I realize a lot of people are jaded about trusting people they meet on the Internet. I'm not going to tell you shouldn't be. What I can tell you is that I've spent a lot of time talking to Nuwagaba and other members of his team, and I'm convinced. If you're interested in helping, but also need to be convinced, Nuwagaba would be happy to talk with you; you can contact him here, or I have his email address and phone number.

So: if you can join me, please do, and I'll match whatever you are able to contribute.
