The number of covid-19 cases in Uganda is rising rapidly and we are stuck in a second lockdown. Fortunately the work on the farm and at the nutrition unit continues. These days we receive many severely malnourished children and we know there are many more who can’t reach the hospital due to the transport restrictions. We immediately want to start offering the emergency services again to the community members.

There is just one tiny problem, our beloved motorcycle pick-up fondly called “Tuku Tuku” became too old and unreliable to transport patients. With bad road conditions it is amazing that “Tuku Tuku” lasted this long being used daily moving up and down along dirt roads. So we had to say goodbye to “Tuku Tuku” who was costing lots to maintain and causing issues when breaking down on the road.

With all other means of transport closed due to strict COVID-19 restrictions we miss “Tuku Tuku” more than ever and need to find a “Tuku Tuku 2” so we can maintain work and jobs and serve the community we love.
