Can We End Hunger? My Trip to Uganda with The Hunger Project - Duration: 24:50.

- Can you say something in German?

Hey, it's Joe here from Diet vs Disease,

as a dietitian, my life revolves around nutrition,

and how to manage diet related conditions.

A large part of my purpose is to also help those

with a different kind of nutrition issue

that we don't typically see,

and that's chronic hunger and malnutrition.

Luckily, I had the pleasure of fundraising $10,000

with the Hunger Project Australia,

and then traveling with them to Africa,

to see exactly what they do, and how the funds are used.

And rather than try to tell you

about the impact they have over there,

I thought I'd take you on this journey with me to Uganda,

and show you firsthand.

So, let's do it.

(lively music)

(women shouting joyfully)

To end hunger and poverty,

the Hunger Project built

what's called the Epicenter Strategy.

Created in Africa, by Africans.

And it revolves around a central community building

that houses programs for health and hygiene,

education, food storage, access to clean water,

microfinance banks, and even demonstration farms

for income generation.

(upbeat music)

Communities will go through four phases

of this Epicenter Strategy.

From mobilization at the beginning,

all the way through to self-reliance,

which is where the Mbale community is at now.

What I love about the Hunger Project,

is that they are implementing a strategy

that trains and empowers local individuals

to end their own hunger and poverty.

That's a fantastic way to give them a hand up,

rather than a handout.

- My name is Mabonga Augustine.

- Everyone calls you Augustine?

- I prefer to be called Augustine.

- What's the biggest change that you have seen

since the Epicenter was built?

- It shows in the children doesn't it?

- I haven't seen any big bellies.

- It's a partnership effort.

(laughter)

- There you go, you heard it straight

from the chairman here, let's go have some lunch.

- Okay please.

(laughter)

- [Joe] Can you do this?

One thumb, one finger.

Yeah, that's it man.

- [Joe] Were you growing coffee

before the Hunger Project?

- No, no, no.

- So, Lorna's farm is really big

and impressive,

all the things that they have managed to grow here,

and the actual size of the property is huge.

She borrowed, 600,000 Ugandan shillings,

which is like 200 US dollars,

and with $200 you can actually buy

quite a substantial piece of land,

because people are desperate for money,

and they will sell the land for quite a low price.

So, Lorna used to live here,

with her husband and seven children,

from 1970s up and till 2012,

and then, they had made enough money to build this,

and moved into here, which has a functioning kitchen,

multiple bedrooms, refrigerator,

it's incredible actually.

Incredible what they've managed to achieve.

Now it's really, really hot here

- Yeah, it is, it's about 36 degrees.

- No one with shorts, the don't wear shorts.

- Yes.

- [Joe] Why is that?

- It is believed that shorts are for boys,

they have a name for you, the name in our local language

is (speaking in foreign language)

it's kind of a question.

If I grow up where should I go?

(laughter)

- [Joe] What about my purple shorts here?

- [Paul] There is what they call muzungu.

- Am I a muzungu?

- So, you are a muzungu,

they come from a country that is cold,

and when they get to Uganda, it's very hot,

they need some fresh air on their legs,

so nobody will mind when they see a muzungu.

- [Joe] You're not getting hot in your denim jeans are you?

- Actually, I'm used to the temperature,

and I don't want anybody to say that I am not a man.

- You look quite the man.

(laughter)

Okay, let's go.

So, they add nuts for protein,

and they even add greens for vitamins and minerals.

With the machine, they are able to

skip all these jobs basically,

you have to cook the millet briefly,

and then you put everything in the machine,

and it just spits out the flour.

(drum beats)

The more I eat it, the more I like it.

Bye.

Freaking hot here, but lucky I can wash it down

with a Stoney Tangawizi.

She likes it (laughs)

Tastes like really strong ginger beer, it's really good.

(drums beats)

So, I'm here with Andrew.

- Andrew, yes.

- Andrew, what's your position here?

- I work as the Assistant Program officer

for The Hunger Project.

- So, how many meals do children eat here, per day?

The green ones right, the hard ones?

- And the one meal they eat, what time of day is that?

- So, really shows here, kids the way they are dressed,

got so many holes in all their clothes,

and it really shows compared to the other Epicenter,

that they don't have access to money.

They don't make any money.

Just food to eat.

This is what the house looks like.

Mud on sticks.

In this village without the epicenter, the mud huts.

These are some of the crops close up.

They look pretty decimated.

Obviously it's doesn't have insecticide and things,

so you can't grow much...

So, this family here,

they are definitely not eating enough,

it's the child with kwashiorkor that we've seen

which is the classic big potbelly,

and that comes from malnutrition,

when the child doesn't eat for days at a time,

multiple times.

What is her illness?

- Measles and malaria.

- What do you think will happen to your daughter

if she does not go to the doctor?

- (speaking in foreign language)

- The mother said, they can't afford to go and treat her,

to go to the clinic, and she is aware of the ultimate price,

that they are going to pay.

It's pretty confronting,

it's so...

The girl must be less than two years old.

It's actually not hard to prevent

these things from happening, now that I have seen,

what having that center that the Hunger Project builds

having that center does.

And then, it's not here,

and all this quite preventable deaths,

are happening.

Yeah.

How many epicenters are there in Uganda?

- There are 13 epicenters.

- 13, how many do you need in Uganda, say to end hunger.

- Okay, so they get one staff.

- So, when you talk to people here,

like they can't look you in the eye,

they are always looking down

because they've kind of resigned,

to the fact of their situation.

Fortunately, there is a solution,

and we have the solution, it's coming.

The epicenter is gonna get built,

within six months to a year,

they've got half the funding for it,

that's enough to get started.

So, this is the Vision Commitment Action (VCA) Workshop,

to help local people, envision what they want to achieve.

Which they conduct in the villages,

particularly before they are going to get

the epicenter built.

- I have a friend who lives in the United States,

but when he went there to study,

and was telling his colleagues about Uganda,

for them, there was not difference

between the different countries in Africa,

Africa is Africa,

So, he told me, that he told a friend

that he comes from Uganda,

and the friend was asking where is that,

He said, "That is in Africa.

And was asking, "Where do you sleep?

He said in houses.

"In houses?

"Tree houses?

(laughter)

And he was surprised, that there are houses,

because he thought it is likely to be only a jungle.

He said, "No, no, no.

"We have houses, seven and 20 stored buildings."

"In Africa?"

And it was a surprise to him, that in Africa,

there is such a thing as a house.

- [Joe] This is Iganga Epicenter,

They are in stage three of mobilization.

Not quite as a far along as Mbale,

in terms of being self reliant.

However, they have a huge property,

so they are able to do a lot more things,

they have a bakery for example,

and they can sell bread in the market and make money.

And they have really large training grounds.

This is the nursery.

- We first raise them from here,

then when they are old enough,

we distribute them to the community members.

- [Joe] Okay.

- One tree, you can produce around ten kilograms.

A kilogram of coffee, is around 7,000 shillings.

- [Man] It's a great cash crop.

- I think you are a bit tall to be here my friend.

(laughter)

And the large fields they have here for growing crops,

also allows them to produce a lot of extra,

that they can store in the food bank.

The food bank is super important

for lasting through drought,

for example which is not uncommon.

And so, they might be months and months

without being able to grow any crop

and then all the community members can access

food from the food bank.

They still have to buy it, but it's very inexpensive.

And what's your name?

Do you know his name?

What's your name?

(children giggling)

- I'm Nakisuyi Joweria.

- What kind of things do you do

as a youth officer?

- Are the girls happy to do this class with you?

- Is it making a change in the community?

- Great, you are doing a very important work.

Moringa seeds, can I have one?

So this is a Moringa seed,

Whoa!

- Oh, but now,

thank you.

So, maybe you can say your name.

- My name is Emojong Yekosphat.

- And what do you do here?

- I wanted to ask you about drought.

Is it common here?

- So, you had less food.

- How has the epicenter with the Hunger Project

helped with that?

- Okay, so that wasn't possible before?

- What do you hope to see,

in the future for this community?

- [Joe] And what is with this handshake?

You know we do this.

- [Joe] Thank you very much.

- [Emojong] You're welcome.

- I love it, okay.

- [Children] Bye.

- [Joe] I'm like I better come in... just missed it.

- [Paul] So, they might have to walk

like four kilometers to their school.

- [Joe] That's pretty far, there's no bus, school bus.

- (laughs)

- [Joe] What's so funny?

- I used to laugh, when I was growing,

I used to walk eight kilometers.

Eight kilometers in the morning, eight kilometers back.

We would walk barefooted, no shoes.

And there are stones on the road, but were used to that.

So, when you talk about school bus in the village here,

somebody might have just seen it in a book.

- [Joe] Are they at least wearing shoes now?

- Not all, a few privileged ones,

but you might find that in a class, about 2%.

As circumstances dictate,

if one cannot afford a school uniform,

why should you buy shoes?

- I tell you what, that Moringa seed I ate,

was so bitter, when you drink something,

it becomes really sweet,

really cool, but as soon as you've swallowed,

it's just bitter again.

Horrible.

So how's this for timing, just yesterday,

we were in Iganga,

which had a very successful local bank called the Sacco,

which gives out micro-finance loans

to the regional population.

Saccos stand for,

Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations.

And the headline in the national paper today,

says, "Taxes on Saccos Scrapped."

Saccos have got a ten year exemption

from paying the 30% cooperation tax

that other banks have to pay.

That 30%, that they save, can be reinvested back,

into the local community.

What I love about this,

is that it was the Hunger Project Uganda,

who made this happen.

To end hunger and poverty,

you can't just make changes on the ground,

changes have to come at an institutional

and governmental level.

And Hunger Project, know this, and they're making it happen.

For me this trip really turned my life upside down.

It was humbling, confronting,

and often times heartbreaking.

But most of all, it was happy and beautiful,

and exciting, and inspiring.

Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done,

there's almost 800 million people in the world,

who will eat just one meal today, or not even that.

But the Hunger Project has taught me that,

we shouldn't see it as 800 million mouths to feed,

we should see it as as 800 million human beings

who are enterprising and resilient.

And the work therefore, is to unlock their capacity,

creativity and leadership,

so they can end their own hunger.

And that's precisely what the Hunger Project does.

- My name is Joseph, Bike 2 Go Entebbe,

we just had an amazing tour,

we're walking through Entebbe Botanical gardens,

I hope it's not Facebook Live.

- I was told that in Uganda, the men wear pants,

and only the children wear shorts.

- (laughs) Yeah, that's the tradition,

but my friends call me Ugandan Muzungu,

because I adopted so much of the other culture,

but yeah, that's right.

I'm a boy.

- [Joe] And you are the Ugandan Muzungu.

- [Joseph] I am a Ugandan Muzungu.

- [Joe] We're matching.

- [Joseph] We're matching (laughs)

although I don't apply sunscreen, I don't need sunscreen,

I don't need sunscreen, I don't get burnt... I'm African.

Thanks for being nice, and come next time.

Uganda Pearl of Africa.
