This is Lazarus, a badass mountaineering guide who works in the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda. Lazarus guided us on a weeklong hike through the Rwenzori Mountains, which is one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. Lazarus was a huge part of what made the trip so memorable. A few months after our trip, Lazarus became very ill and was diagnosed with diabetes. Due to covid and devastating flooding in the Rwenzori Mountains, Lazarus has no work and can not afford his medication. He has been going without so that his family can eat, and then his health tanks yet again. For Lazarus, an extra $150 per month means the difference between life and death.
Lazarus is well respected in his village, where he helped to establish a literacy center for adults and children. His goal is to make sure all children in his community know how to read and write, as the public school system in Uganda is not good.
His friends and other community members have been assisting Lazarus and his family as they are able, and they are trying to help him start a poultry farm. Apparently this is usually a very successful business venture in Uganda and should help him afford his medication in the future. I’ve been helping Lazarus with some of his medical bills, but I can’t make the guarantee that I’ll always be able to help. A poultry farm should allow him to get back on his feet and be self sufficient.
My friend Dezi is leading the fundraising efforts in Uganda, and he said that they can get A poultry farm up and running for under $1500.
