World Vision Taiwan and different denominational leaders from the country recently embarked on a visit to Uganda to witness firsthand the challenges being presented by widespread poverty and Aids in the country.
The delegation is being led by Tu Ming-han, president of World Vision Taiwan.
The group of ministers will learn about several of the charity's projects in northern Uganda, including Aids prevention and landmine prevention, water resource and public health plans.
In addition, the delegates will visit churches and help deliver food.
A World Vision spokesman said the Ugandan trip is part of the international "30 hour famine" campaign, which the organisation has participated in for the last 18 years.
The campaign not only helps locals and foreigners in need, it also educates young Taiwanese and nurtures their compassion, the spokesman said.
Funds will be raised for the "30 hour famine" through World Vision-sponsored concerts throughout June in three different cities in Taiwan, including Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung.
