Membership History
The founding of HFU in 2008 arose from a shared passion for individuals, households and communities affected by malnutrition and the associated costs. The coming together of a group of Eight (8) Alumni Volunteers of the course on Hunger in the 21st Century became one of the earliest responses to hunger. The touching course was organized by United Nations World Food Programme (UNWFP) and the Continuing Agricultural Education Centre (CAEC), college of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at Makerere University.
The idea of shared concern, ability and responsibility became a unifying factor in mobilizing other volunteers and stakeholders to be part of this indigenous response to Hunger in Uganda with local, national and global perspective. Since then, the organisation has remained an agency that has stimulated individuals, families, communities and institutions at local and national levels as partners and volunteers, those who have the aspiration and willingness to fight hunger and its associated consequences.
