Mirembe Kawomera – Peace Coffee from Uganda
here is a cool story about a Ugandan coffee cooperative of Muslims, Christians and Jews working side by side to make quality coffee. Very similar to the PeaceWorks model we introduced 15 years ago. But so cool to see the initiative coming from the African community.
The company that imports and markets the product, Thanksgiving Coffee Company, seems very sincerely motivated and professional. And an NGO named Kulanu apparently catalyzed this venture. Nice job!
