About Welthungerhilfe (WHH)

WHH is one of Germany’s largest private aid organizations with no political or religious affiliations founded in 1962. WHH's vision is a world in which all people can exercise their right to a self-determined life in dignity and justice, free from hunger and poverty. In Uganda, Welthungerhilfe started operations in 1986, with a country office established in 2002. WHH works for and with the people of Uganda providing technical and financial support in the areas of Food and Nutrition Security, Youth Skills Development, Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), as well as women’s empowerment, ending gender-based violence (GBV) and promotion of gender equality. In collaboration with the Government of the Republic of Uganda, national and local non-governmental organisations, Welthungerhilfe Uganda runs projects in five regions; West Nile, Karamoja, Teso, Central, and Western.
