Hungry Minds Educational Society (HUMES) is a Canadian, Non Government Organization (NGO) working to improve the living standards of rural Ugandan adults living in extreme poverty, through sustainable community-based initiatives.
Our vision is to be known for promoting the involvement of communities in their development through progression from learning experiences to sustainable living activities by enhancing educational initiatives that are transferable to individuals and their communities.
HUMES is a demand driven initiative, taking a holistic view of learners by placing education within the context of community and partnering with the community to model sustainable growth. Through HUMES, learners are provided with an opportunity to come together to express concerns about things that are important to them and their community, to problem solve, to trial solutions and develop personally.
HUMES links Ugandan communities with global ones through national and international volunteer workers, trainers, or experts who have developed and can demonstrate, practices related to our locally expressed needs. Experiential education and community growth are the channels used by HUMES to overcome poverty.
