GRHU is seeking to purchase 250 pairs of shoes for  refugee children  in Uganda to help them prevent diseases caused by walking barefoot. Small insects called jiggers (which look like sand fleas) cause one of the most endemic issues in Uganda today that can be easily prevented. Jiggers often enter through the feet, as they are poor jumpers. Painful swelling follows, and the jiggers spread throughout the body, causing affected tissue to essentially rot away. Thousands are affected by jiggers monthly, and some cases, if left untreated, lead to death. GRHU will be purchasing black shoes providing them to children aged 4 – 14 who are the most in need in Bunamwaya, in Kampala, Uganda.
