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 established organizations in Uganda.
We contribute financial and strategic resources by connecting North Americans with well-stewarding, high-quality development projects that empower and improve the quality of life of rural Ugandans, enabling them to live a life of dignity, peace, wealth, health, prosperity, freedom, and happiness for themselves and their communities
Be part of the Change!
Using the creative process and systems thinking, we train, teach, and support the following key strategies:
-
Improved equity, quality, and access to education for women and girls
-
Food security through improved agricultural practices
-
Entrepreneurship through technical and vocational skills
-
Peace through advancements in health and social welfare, as well as Environmental sustainability.
It is gratifying to empower and impact the impoverished rural communities of Uganda. Together we can do more. Join Us!
