The Hunger Project - Uganda:
Overview
NEWS!
African Woman Food Farmer Initiative (AWFFI) partners at Wakiso epicenter.
The Hunger Project in Uganda is committed to the sustainable end of hunger throughout the nation.
Using The Hunger Project's methodology of Strategic Planning-in-Action, it works to empower local people to create their own vision of a future free from hunger, and carry out catalytic projects to achieve that future. It works in partnership with government, the media and civil society in a common front for the end of hunger.
Empowering women food farmers is our highest priority.
Underwriting for the first two years of The Hunger Project's work in Uganda was underwritten by a team of investors from The Hunger Project-Australia.
At the invitation of the President, 1998 Africa Prize laureate Yoweri Museveni, and with the partnership of the 1995 Africa Prize laureate, Joyce Mungherera, The Hunger Project began its work in Uganda in 1998. The Vice President of Uganda, Dr. Speciosa Wandira Kazibwe, serves on our Global Board of Directors.
 Work on the epicenter in Kiringente began in late 2001, as the ground was cleared and the hole dug for the foundation. |
 The structure was up in January 2002. |
Irene Wasike Muwanguzi serves as The Hunger Project-Uganda country director.
