About Us:
African Food
and
Peace Foundation
The African Food and Peace Foundation (AFPF) is driven by a world vision where individuals in rural communities can lead a life of freedom, health, wealth, happiness, and dignity.
To realize this vision, AFPF provides financial and strategic resources to support sustainable development and education in rural Uganda.
History of AFPF
In 1981, the African Food and Peace Foundation was established to support significant, long-term development in rural Uganda by partnering with local Ugandan initiatives. In 1987, this partnership gave rise to the Uganda Rural Development and Training Programme (URDT).
AFPF has been a significant source of funding and support to URDT. At the same time, they launched their various programs and institutions, including African Rural University (ARU), Africa’s first all-women’s university with a rural curriculum. African Food and Peace Foundation’s primary role is to support the ever-expanding reach of URDT and ARU through fundraising, advising, networking, international visits, and deep personal friendships that tie communities in America and Uganda together.
Empower Our Vision
Through fundraising with our community of friends in North America, we have supported development innovations by empowering rural communities in Uganda to create peace, health, prosperity, freedom, and happiness for themselves. The two organizations have had an excellent working partnership for over forty years.
Our Mission
To provide financial and strategic resources to support sustainable development and education in rural Uganda. For over 40 years, we have partnered with URDT, a secular organization run by local Ugandans who are true innovators.
Our Vision
A world where every individual in rural communities can lead a life of freedom, health, wealth, happiness, and dignity.
