About
Since 1981, the African Food and Peace Foundation (AFPF), a U.S. 501(c) (3) based in the Greater Boston Area, has supported community-initiated rural development projects in partnership with the Uganda Rural Development and Training Programme (URDT) located in Kagadi, Uganda.
Be part of the Change!
Using the creative process and systems thinking, we train, teach, and support individuals in these target areas. It is gratifying to empower and impact the impoverished rural communities of Uganda.
For over 40 years, in partnership with the Uganda Rural Development and Training Institute (URDT) and supported by a North American community of over 2,000 individual partners, we’ve empowered millions in rural Uganda through innovative education, grassroots training, and community-led development.
We would love to welcome you into this community and connect you with high-quality projects that are transforming lives and creating lasting change.
