ABOUT 

US

Who we are:

 

Step into a world where dreams are woven from the threads of nutritious food and boundless potential. At IFOSOF, we are labouring tirelessly to transform this vision into a tangible reality. Our unwavering mission centres around securing accurate, intricate nutritional data for every child. This data helps us pinpoint regions and communities grappling with high malnutrition rates, and then we swing into action with targeted interventions to abolish child malnutrition.
 

But our ambitions extend far beyond these initial steps. We firmly believe that education is the cornerstone of lasting success. This belief has led to the creation of the IFOSOF Home Nutri Gardens Training Program. Through this innovative initiative, we equip mothers with the knowledge and skills to cultivate their nutrient-rich vegetables and fruit gardens, empowering them to provide their families with wholesome, balanced meals. With this approach, we're fostering sustainable food production, promoting dietary diversity, and waging a relentless war against malnutrition within households.
 

We are acutely aware that eradicating child malnutrition is a journey that calls for collective action. This is why we forge alliances with government agencies, international organizations, local communities, and other stakeholders. Together, we're weaving a network of support and resources that will foster enduring, positive change.


At IFOSOF, our compass is etched with the vision of a Uganda where no child experiences the pangs of hunger. We are deeply committed to extending a helping hand to the underprivileged children in our community, and our bonds with local chairpersons and communities run deep. We're not just problem-solvers; we're partners in this quest to combat malnutrition. Our approach is a symphony of AGRICULTURE, NUTRITION, and HEALTH, and we take immense pride in our partnership with local council chairmen (LC) and community mothers as we strive to vanquish malnutrition in these communities. Together, we're weaving a brighter tapestry for the children of Uganda, where hope and nutrition reign supreme.

 

Let's work together towards a common goal of ensuring every child has access to the nutrition they need for a better and healthier tomorrow. Join us in our mission to make a world where all children have access to nourishing food, and together, we can make it a reality!

Our Story.

 

Welcome to IFOSOF - the force against child malnutrition, where we're revolutionizing nutrition for a brighter tomorrow. Our vision is simple but profound: empower children, empower communities. We're dedicated to ending the nightmare of malnutrition by blending information, education, and innovation.

In impoverished urban communities, many children face the grim spectre of hunger and malnutrition. It's a harsh reality we aim to shatter by fusing agriculture and nutrition into a sustainable solution.
 

Our journey was sparked by Grace Kiima Ssebagala, whose heart bled for malnourished children in her community. She realized that charity alone wouldn't suffice; she needed a lasting impact. Thus, IFOSOF was born, a fusion of agriculture and nutrition to nourish minds and bodies.
 

Child malnutrition is more than just hunger; it's a straitjacket on growth and development. That's why we've embraced a holistic approach, marrying data, education, and sustainable solutions.

Our team has relentlessly gathered data and formed partnerships, revealing the staggering scale of malnutrition's grip. The faces of 65 children under our care tell a story that fuels our determination.
 

But we're not only about numbers; we're about empowering mothers. Our workshops and training impart the wisdom of nutritional gardening and balanced diets. Our aim: vanquish malnutrition, one home at a time, and extend our reach across Uganda.
 

Yet, our vision stretches further. We've planted the seeds of change in a farm and dream of its expansion. With organic, sustainable practices, we grow a bounty of fruits, vegetables, grains, and rare animals. This harvest is the cornerstone of our future - a nutritious food factory, where we'll craft meals that are ready to transform lives. Our strategy spans data collection, children's education, sustainable agriculture, and eco-consciousness, all while taming greenhouse gas emissions.
 

At IFOSOF, we wear our pride on our sleeves and carry a commitment to kindle hope in the hearts of hungry children. Together, we can mold a future where no child's laughter mingles with the pangs of malnutrition.
 

Let's come together and make a difference by creating communities for the urban poor, where no child has to go to bed hungry. Join us in this noble cause and let's make sure that no child is deprived of the necessities of life.
