Product Sales
In addition to directing a portion of its revenues to various ministries, The Shepherd's Door carries merchandize whose profits promote fair trade, spread the Gospel, and aid in revitalizing underdeveloped communities around the world. One of the products that Shepherd's Door carries is Ugandan Gold Coffee:
The Christian East African and Equatorial Development Trust (CEED), is a non-profit organization committed to developing and maintaining sustainable, income-generating projects in poverty-stricken areas of the world. CEED chose the Bunyoro-Kitara region of Uganda in which to launch its first project - a coffee farm. Coffee is by far the largest export commodity Uganda, but most coffee growers still live in poverty because of poor technology (e.g., little or no effective irrigation) and dependence on middlemen to sell their products.
Every dollar in excess of the cost to grow, ship, process, package and market the coffee is returned to Uganda to be plowed back into the economy to assist in improving the lot of the people at the ground level. No huge overhead, no corruption raking off dollars, just money and programs going directly to the people in the Wambabya region most in need.
We would encourage you to visit their web site at ugandangold.com where you can learn more about CEED, purchase coffee and even watch a video presentation of the history of Ugandan Gold.
