Hello, my name is Samuel Ssebandeke, Founder and Director of Lusi Namatovu Foundation, a non profit organisation fighting hunger and empowering the Elderly individuals in Rakai District. The less privileged elders need food, love and care. This is the initial reason why we support and provide for destitute old aged persons. Every month we provide rice, sugar among other basic needs to these individuals who are less privilaged or neglected by their families. Due to poverty some families are not able to feed these elderly persons. Some of them used to beg from their neighbouring houses to feed themselves. Our little contribution to the elderly makes their world healthy and happy
