My name is Anthony, a farmer here in Kamuli, in eastern Uganda.
My region Busoga is Uganda’s poorest, and is Uganda’s most destitute.
For me personally, just recently in 2015, when the UN Global Goals were being launched, I was still a total wretch, unable to even get what to eat, and things had been that way for me since my years of childhood.
But the energy that surrounded the launch of these goals, was one of the very first things that restored hope in me, and which made me believe a poverty-free world was now possible, and that people like us were now in the company of the rest of humanity.
Today, I can say with certainty that: under humanity’s default way of ending global poverty, people like us simply have no single chance of escaping extreme poverty ever.
It’s been 8 years already from the time humanity declared its goal of ending poverty in all its forms everywhere by 2030 through the Global Goals, and the best humanity has done to date, is to completely stop talking about these goals, at least not publicly.
This is why I am asking you to help the @UgandaFarm end extreme poverty in our region of Busoga, Uganda’s poorest region, by working together with us the UNHUMANLY way, i.e., in a way that is devoid of humanity’s default way of doing things.
Let 2030 not be a total waste.
Help us make at least the smallest possible stride on extreme poverty in our region by 2030, by working together with us the unhumanly way.
