Hungry Minds Educational Society (HUMES)


Hungry Minds is a Canadian, Non Government Oganization (NGO) working to improve the living standards of rural Ugandan adults living in extreme poverty, through sustainable community-based initiatives.

Our vision is to be known for promoting the involvement of communities in their development through progression from learning experiences to sustainable living activities by enhancing educational initiatives that are transferable to individuals and their communities.

Hungry Minds is a demand driven initiative, partnering with Kisowera community to model sustainable development. Through Hungry Minds, learners are provided with an opportunity to come together to express concerns about things that are important to them and their community, to problem solve, to trial solutions, develop personally and grow their community.

Hungry Minds links Ugandan communities with global ones through national and international volunteer workers, trainers or experts, who have created or can demonstrate, innovative sustainable development practices, related to our locally expressed needs. Experiential education and community growth are the channels used by HUMES to overcome poverty.
