Universities Fighting World Hunger




Universities Fighting World Hunger (UFWH) represents a campus best practice in international programming and sustainable human development.  It creates a learning environment where intellectual discovery and social responsibility converge in pursuit of a sustainable world – a world that protects our natural environment and enhances human health and well-being for present and future generations.

Vision
In partnership with the UN World Food Programme, Universities Fighting World Hunger will be the catalyst mobilizing universities across the nation and around the globe to make fighting hunger a core value of higher education institutions worldwide.

Mission
The mission is to create an academic hunger model that is suitable for replication or adaptation by universities in the US and abroad.

Goal
The founding goal is to develop and implement an action agenda for students and faculty that encompasses:
  • hunger awareness and consciousness-raising
  • fundraising
  • advocacy
  • academic initiatives
leading to a university community that is fully engaged in the effort to eliminate world hunger.
