CURE Uganda/Mudslide

A devastating mudslide struck the Bududa District of Uganda earlier this week.  This area is near Mbale, the location of the CURE Children’s Hospital of Uganda.

We received an update from the executive director of CURE Uganda, Derek Johnson:

We are about five miles from the mudslide. Some members of our staff are from this area.  We’ve provided some medical supplies and are currently organizing a contribution of donated bed sheets, blankets and clothes for the survivors. Sister Miriam, our spiritual director, is heading up a team to provide counseling to all those affected by the mudslide who will be temporarily placed in internally displaced persons (refugee) camps.

Our prayers go out to the CURE staff members who have been affected by this disaster as well as for the people of Bududa District.
