Death in Uganda: An urgent appeal

I am writing today with a very urgent and very desperate appeal on behalf of the people of Karamojong who are displaced in Kampala, Uganda. The Karamajongs are nomadic pastoralists who have been driven from their lands are are now forced to live in the slums of Uganda. Their only source of income now is to send their children on the streets to beg for food. We drive through Kampala and there are literally hundreds of children, some barely a few months old sitting in the streets begging. When we went to the slums where the Kalamajongs live, we were even more shocked and appalled.
