Vision for Sustainable Development (VFSD) is a Non-Governmental/non profit making organization formed  in 2005 and duly registered under the Non-government registration statute of 1989, with the Ministry of Internal Affairs NGO’s board under the department of community welfare services with Reg. No S.5914/6136.The organization was first permitted to operate in only Kampala District and has extended its services in the Eastern Part of Uganda-Kumi District and is also registered with the Kumi District local government on Registration No.009/008.

This was an idea initiated by a group of Youth who have been raised from humble back grounds with long experience in working with the grassroots poor spear headed by Lubega Joseph who through tireless efforts and over a period of years had enduringly introduced the idea to as many people as he could. However, several people expressed interest to take part in this organization, most of them ended up pulling out for lack of resources to be injected into this promising initiative. Thereafter it was registered in 2005 as Non-Governmental organization with the Ministry of Internal Affairs NGO’s board under the department of community welfare services with Registration number. No S.5914/6136.
