What is HFC?

Picking on charities is just plain rude. Thankfully, that’s not what we’re about. We’re about proving that hackers have amazing skills that can transform charitable organizations. We’re about stepping into the gap to feed and educate the world’s most vulnerable citizens. We are virtual, geographically diverse and different. We are Hackers for Charity.

So what do we do?

We feed children through our "food for work" program

We build computer labs to help students learn skills and land jobs that are key to disrupting poverty's vicious cycle.

We provide technical assistance to charities that can not affort IT services.

We provide job experience and references to our volunteers.

Our largest project is headed by Johnny Long in East Africa. In June 2009, he and his family relocated to Uganda to focus on HFC full-time. Read more about their journey here or fund their volunteer work here.
