Ending Campus Hunger in Uganda

A student led movement advancing dignity, food security, and learning through evidence, advocacy, and collective action.

Students studying together

Across universities in Uganda, many students struggle with food insecurity while pursuing higher education. Meals are skipped quietly. Hunger is hidden behind resilience. Yet learning, health, and wellbeing are deeply affected. Learn And Lunch exists to make campus hunger visible, understood, and addressed through ethical, student led systems.
