Paul, a coffee farmer in Mityana District, Central Uganda reflects on his journey with the Ujana Coffee Project, sharing how he launched his micro-business and the impact it has had on his livelihood, independence, and family.
The Lavazza Foundation in partnership with Sawa World started the Ujana Coffee Project as a solution to diversify and increase the income of youth from smallholder coffee farms.
The project takes a unique approach by providing access to locally-created and easy-to-start income skills that allow the youth to rapidly start small-scale businesses and with little startup costs. This provides additional revenue from their farming activities and motivates them to stay in the agricultural sector for the long-term.
