Clothing & Shelter

A roof, and clothes that fit.

The ordinary conditions that make consistent care possible.

Our partner has described rent as a recurring pressure — reported to us as approximately 500,000 UGX per month. That is partner-provided information, not a figure Jordan River Charity has independently verified, and we label it that way until we hold documentation.

Why this matters

Stability is unglamorous and essential.

  • Clothing that fits is a matter of dignity as much as warmth or protection.
  • A stable roof is what allows every other kind of care to be consistent.
  • Housing costs recur monthly and are the easiest thing for a small budget to fall behind on.
  • Children notice when they are the ones without shoes.

What this support provides

Clothing and housing basics.

  • Everyday clothing that fits and is appropriate for the season
  • Shoes and basic footwear
  • Bedding and household essentials where our partner reports the need
  • Rent support toward the home the children live in
  • Basic repairs and upkeep, where documented

What this does and does not tell us

This is a documented purchase of hygiene basics, not a verified outcome. It does not evidence rent paid, clothing supplied, or how the items were distributed.

These are documented purchases, not verified outcomes. See the transparency ledger for how this spending reconciles against funds transferred.

Costs

What does it actually cost?

Our verified costs

Jordan River Charity / Anikana Foundation figures taken only from receipts, invoices, bills, written quotations or partner records we hold.

Local cost verification in progress.

No tenancy agreement, rent receipt or clothing purchase receipt has been verified by JRC yet. The rent figure our partner has reported is context, not a verified expense, and is deliberately kept out of the totals below.

External context — not our figures

Published third-party information, kept separate from our own spending and never added into our totals.

No sourced external context has been recorded for this area yet.
