UKD Flood Relief Funds Needed
in the Ulanga Kilombero Diocese, Tanzania
Congregations are asked to consider a special offering on June 9, earmarked “UKD Flood Relief”.
GOAL: The Northwest Intermountain Synod is working to raise $34,000 to assist our Companion Synod, the Ulanga Kilombero Diocese in Tanzania, as they recover from a severe flood that affected much of East Africa.
Message from Bishop Manlove
Successive heavy rainstorms between March and early May 2024 led to “loss of lives, livelihoods, massive displacements, evacuations and destroyed homes, roads, school buildings, power outages, and outbreaks of disease.” (Report from Bishop Renard Mtenji) Crops are destroyed by floods, following two years of crop failures due to drought. The $34,000 is based on a budget proposed by the UKD.
