Supply Chain - Uganda Community Garden Project
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.

About the 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.
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.

“For me the top highlight was to get to meet pretty amazing people who grab every opportunity they’re offered with an energy and zeal that I have not come across before. Their hard work and enthusiasm was a very inspiring and humbling experience.”
What is the Supply Chain?
For those of you who do not know, The Great Generation Supply Chain is a unique way for our volunteers to become ambassadors for the local communities whom they have lived and worked with during their project.
Our volunteers work together with our Expert Partners and local communities to identify small items which can make a big difference. We advertise these items here and volunteers promote these Supply Chain items to YOU, their friends and family and when you donate money towards a particular Supply Chain item you know that the money is going to where it is needed most.
The Great Generation and its volunteers, partners and local communities thank you for your contribution towards a world free of poverty.
