WFP Uganda

"Now that food rations have been reduced, we’re working to grow our food.” In an innovative partnership between WFP and @OmiaLtd, refugee farmer groups in #Uganda are growing🌱 food using the power of the sun. @WFPInnovation @DKinUganda @INBaltics Watch Mary's story ⤵️

✅ 94% recovery. 0% mortality. 300,000+ children reached in #Uganda in 2024. @WFP’s nutrition programmes are helping children recover, grow, and thrive. Behind every number is a child with a second chance.

"Our job in logistics is not just to move food." WFP's Sahir explains what's behind every kilometer that WFP food assistance travels. In 2024, @WFP_Uganda moved 173,000 MT of food to 545 hard-to-reach locations across the country. Watch one of those dispatches in action ⤵️

Aziza is one of over 4 million people displaced outside #Sudan by the war. Once a humanitarian worker, she left everything behind to find safety in #Uganda, where @WFP assistance helps her to feed her family. Without urgent support, this lifeline is at risk.

🍄 Community care groups in Katakwi are now harvesting mushrooms thanks to @AFI_Uganda’s Livelihood Program, supported by @WFP_Uganda! Sustainable farming = better nutrition + income. #FoodSecurity #MushroomFarming #WFP #AFIUganda

📢 #Uganda hosts 1.9M+ refugees—but food aid is running low. With a €5M boost from the #EU 🇪🇺, @wfp will support 18,000+ refugees & host community members with training, nutrition & farming skills to build self-reliance and food security. Read more ➡️ wfp.org/news/eu-and-wf…

🇺🇬 #Uganda hosts 1.9M refugees, including 81K from 🇸🇩 Sudan. Yet WFP support has dropped from 1.6M to just 660K. Since March, many receive only 🍽️ 22% rations. WFP needs urgent funding to sustain food assistance in 2025. Read more in our global news release on the #SudanCrisis👇

Across Africa, over 6 million refugees rely on @WFP for food and support. But when funding falls short, they’re the first to suffer—facing hunger, malnutrition and impossible choices. 🚨This vital lifeline is at risk.

In #Uganda, WFP supports 660,000+ refugees—including 64,000 who recently fled violence in eastern #DRC. But this is less than half the 1.6M we assisted in April. WFP needs $50M to restore full support through 2025.

Last year, the World Food Programme (WFP) assisted over 124 mln people, overcoming significant challenges & risks. 📘 Dive into @WFP's 2024 Annual Review to discover more about their emergency response, innovative partnerships & impact around the world: buff.ly/Bo0vwmu

Without proper #nutrition, children face lifelong consequences. With our partners in #Uganda, WFP has helped create METU, a powerful mix of local ingredients 🥜🌽🍯 to treat moderate acute malnutrition. WFP works closely with parents like Lilly, so their families stay healthy.

"Even if I no longer receive WFP aid, I can feed my family and pay school fees," says Juma, a refugee, met during @IrlEmbUganda's visit to Rhino Camp refugee settlement in #Uganda. WFP has supported over 57,000 refugees to become self-reliant, with Ireland as a key supporter.

When refugees arrive with nothing, WFP is there - with food, school meals, & nutrition support. In #Uganda, most now receive just 20% of their food needs. Help us keep this lifeline strong, so families can focus on their futures, not fear for their next meal.

On #WorldRefugeeDay2025, #Ireland reaffirms commitment to inclusive, principled humanitarian action. #Ireland stands with displaced communities today and every day through our partnerships with @UNHCRuganda @WFP_Uganda #SolidarityWithRefugees

Commemoration of World Refugee Day! We’re proud to partner with @WFP_Uganda in implementation of initiatives to support refugees within the country. #WorldRefugeeDay #selfreliance #impact

I recently met Meruda in Uganda, a nurse forced to flee her home in South Sudan with her 3 young children due to conflict. @WFP supports her family & millions of other refugees with food assistance. But funding shortfalls meant we cut 1M refugees from this lifeline last month.
