Welcome to our school community, Sedrack!

Every year we grow vegetables in our school garden and use them in school or sell them to parents. This year our Year 6 Justice Group invested some of the money we raised in a developing business in Uganda. The owner of the business, Sedrack, is a 31-year-old married man living in Fort Portal, Uganda. He has been selling goats for six years now, and he got the capital to start the business from brick laying. His major challenges now are the steadily increasing price of goats and the difficulty of finding customers.

Sedrack's dream is to educate his children to higher levels and to diversify his business to include cattle sales. He needed this loan to buy more goats for sale.

We will keep track of our investment and when Sedrack repays his loan later in the year, we hope to re-invest in another developing business and therefore continue to encourage communities to become less dependent on charitable donations and build sustainable businesses of their own.
