Built from decades of friendship
The bonds between Wales and the Mt Elgon region of Uganda go back a long way. For decades, we’ve been exchanging ideas, sharing learning and working hand-in-hand to tackle some of the biggest problems facing both the region and the world.
Welcoming Ugandan farmers to Wales
Farmers from the Mt Elgon region have been regular visitors to Wales over the years, especially during annual Fairtrade Fortnight celebrations. Visiting schools, businesses and community groups in Wales, farmers have shared how Fairtrade has made a difference to their coffee production and communities.
The question that started it all
On a visit to Uganda in 2010, Elen met Jenipher and they’ve been in touch ever since. At that first meeting, Elen asked how people in Wales can best support the farmers. Jenipher’s answer was simple – buy our coffee on Fairtrade terms. In 2020, this became a reality and Jenipher’s Coffi was launched.
Taking action against the climate crisis
Mudslides and flooding are hitting the farming communities of Mt Elgon with increasing regularity., Their effects are devastating and often fatal. Through tree planting, sustainable farming methods and joint education programmes, the people of Wales and Uganda are working together to fight back. Together, we’re supporting communities in Mt Elgon to mitigate the impacts of climate change and become more resilient to the weather extremes they increasingly face.
