Supply Chain - Uganda Community Garden Project
In November 2008 The Great Generation took a group of seven determined volunteers to Uganda with the mission of creating a community model garden for Expert Partner Reach Out Mbuya, an NGO providing medical and social services to people living with HIV/AIDS in a very poor slum area of Kampala.
The cost of education in Uganda is a severe barrier to peoples’ empowerment and their ability to earn a living. This is accentuated when the family breadwinner is affected by HIV/AIDS and school fees become an unaffordable luxury.
For this reason our volunteers and Expert Partner identified school fees as an essential to the community’s development.
£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
£7.00 will provide a large family with soap for a year
£41 will support a child with a complete primary school package*
£94.00 will support a child with a complete secondary school package*
*NB: A complete school package includes school fees, school uniform, stationary and food
Pay £ 13.75 for seed package (includes tomatoes, carrots, lettuce, beans, onions)
Pay £ 11.75 for a ‘Ute load’ of manure
Pay £ 23.50 for supplies to build a garden shed
Pay £ 37.50 for supplies to build a garden fence
Pay £ 63.00 for a water tank
