"Just Cups of Coffee"
A Mitzvah Opportunity
 Mirembe Kawomera means "delicious peace" in Lugandan. Jews, Moslems and Christians in this unique Ugandan cooperative have grown and marketed their coffee together since 2004, when JJ Keki, an Ugandan Jew, knocked on his neighbors' doors to ask Jews, Muslims, and Christians to put aside their differences and join him in creating a dynamic new project.
More than 550 families now earn their livlihoods through the Coffee Cooperative. In addition, local schools, electric and water facilities have also benefited from the coffee sales. An active and effective training program has improved the quality and yields at harvest, and a new roof was recently put on the elementary school.
Each day these farmers choose tolerance as their way forward. Their children see that peace is a solution and a path to a brighter future. Supporting this Cooperative promotes a strong base of citizenship and a global community dedicated to real peace-building
As a result of this cooperative venture, more than 550 families now enroll their children in schools and participate in a variety of local public health and education projects.
Get high quality, organic Kosher coffee and invest in a more just world. In addition, $1 from the sale of each bag of Mirembe Kawomera Coffee will help support Hill Havurah. Try it once, or order now for the year.
