We exist to end needless suffering
Lack of medical care (worms) might the reason this child’s stomach is so big. Obama’s Children organization arranged for these children to be cared for in the hospital. We also located a relative to care for them within our support structure.
No doubt, they will need to go to school as they are still young and cannot just be left without education. They need education to prepare for them for social, economic and physical independence. Remember, they are the future!

Over 80 million people in more than 70 countries are fighting hunger. We're here to help. But, it's not simply a matter of providing food to needy areas. It's also important to ensure that it's nutritionally appropriate food.
Clean water is a necessity of life. But it's actually become one of the most precious resources in the 21st century. In fact, one in nine people live without access to clean, drinkable water. We work tirelessly to help bring clean and safe water to people in developing countries.
Yes We Can!
We hire local transporters (boda-boda) to deliver millet, corn, dry beans and some cash for salt and other immediate needs like medicine to remove worms from the stomach as demonstrated in this picture:
Most of us are fortunate enough to just walk home to a hot meal, and turn on a faucet to access life’s most essential ingredient: clean water. But for these three brothers - they must roam the Village of Maundo, Tororo, Uganda searching for food. Their mother left their alcoholic father who has since remarried. Obviously, the new stepmother neglects the children's welfare. Thanks to your donations - we took the boys to hospital and will soon post before and after photo
Where is the Evidence?
Monitor Newspaper (2016) headlined “Butaleja man abandons family after wife delivers triplets” (para. 1). This story was first reported in the national daily. Personally – I stumbled on the article from way in Washington, DC., USA. I erroneously assumed, "once it is national news, there should be a pastor or NGO or member of parliament from the region doing something." Maaan! I sent Obama Volunteer to check on the vulnerable family, some 20 miles away (in Buteleja) from Obama headquarters in Merikit, Tororo. Photo 1 shows the leaky grass thatched hut where the family lived. Photo 2 shows the helpless mother with her triplets – barely one year old. All in all, the photos illustrate what the volunteer found, beyond the fact that Obama's people were the first and have since been the only known helpers.
