Supply Chain - Calder High
In July 2010 we took a group of 11 students and 5 teachers from Calder High out to volunteer on a two week community development project.
This project took place in Kampala in partnership with one of our Expert Partners that works on holistic HIV/AIDS treatment and outreach in a very poor slum area of Kampala
One of the major things that stood out to Calder High group of volunteers was discovering the barriers to education faced by children impacted by HIV/AIDS. As one of our student volunteers said:
“… My mobile phone bill, could pay for 4 kids to school for a year … it really really shocked me. People always say that its good to donate money to good causes, but until you’re actually in the situation and you see people … like an old woman looking after a child that isn’t even hers, out of the goodness of her heart … yeah, well it’s pretty amazing...”
For this reason this group of volunteers decided to focus the Supply Chain items around getting more kids into school.
£18.00 will pay for a child's primary school fees
£53.00 will pay for a child’s secondary school fees
£11.00 will contribute towards food support for a child in school
