“As the Friends of Mothers Coffee Initiative in Uganda, we are committed to empowering women through the specialty coffee industry. Our mission is driven by my personal dedication to addressing the inequalities faced by my mother and grandmother, making women's empowerment the cornerstone of our operation.

Our primary focus lies in the premium market, and we possess a distinctive feature that sets us apart. We combine the production of high-quality coffee with various initiatives aimed at empowering women.

An essential element of our approach involves implementing Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and obtaining certifications to ensure that our coffee meets the highest quality standards. We also give priority to agroforestry practices, promoting sustainability throughout the journey of coffee, from seed to roasted bean.

In addition to our commitment to the coffee industry, we place great importance on women's health. We provide improved cook stoves to reduce the risk of indoor pollution, ultimately enhancing the well-being of the women engaged in coffee production.

Our efforts extend beyond making a positive impact within our community; we actively promote coffee and environmental awareness through coffee tourism. By sharing the stories behind our coffee and the efforts we undertake to empower women, we aspire to improve lives and create a better future for everyone involved.

Through our unwavering dedication to empowering women, producing exceptional coffee, and championing sustainable practices, the Friends of Mothers Coffee Initiative is making a meaningful difference in Uganda and beyond.”
