In the village of Bulega in southern Uganda, BGR partner Uganda Buddhist Centre (UBC) has established a feeding program to care for some of the many children here who have been orphaned due to parental HIV/AIDS or other illnesses, accidents, abandonment, or conflict-related violence. The orphaned children are at significant risk of maltreatment, exploitation, and sexual and economic abuse. This hunger relief project provides two nutritious meals a day to 25 orphaned children for one year. The project also supports education for the children in the form of school fees and supplies.

This project addresses the critical issues of hunger and education for these children. By providing nutritious meals, the project ensures that the children are well-fed and healthy, supporting their overall well-being and ability to learn. The provision of education support ensures that the children have access to basic education, improving their future prospects and helping to break the cycle of poverty. Program operations are overseen by UBC founder and abbot the Most Venerable Bhante Buddharakkhita and appointed resident monks.
