Every Monday through Friday - weekends too if there's an emergency - empty trucks pull up at the warehouse in Kampala, bound for destinations around Uganda and neighboring countries. Nearly 200 porters jog around the warehouse, a steady stream of men carrying 100-lb (50 kg) bags of food on their heads. Trains and trucks arrive full from local traders and from the port city of Mombasa, Kenya, where ships bring donated food from the U.S. and other Western countries.
