Mission statement
At Kickstart Coffee, we empower Ugandan communities by using proceeds from our specialty coffee to fund education and local development projects. By sourcing our coffee directly from Mt. Elgon, Uganda, we ensure transparent farming practices and fair support for farmers and their families, fostering sustainable and fulfilling lives for the next generation.
We proudly donate 100% of our profits to community-led projects in Uganda. In 2024 alone, we contributed £77,002 to support education, nutrition, and healthcare initiatives that create lasting impact.
The story so far…
Fueling education, one delicious cup at a time.
In 2002, Hannah visited Uganda as a student nurse and it was on this trip that she was introduced to The Early Learning School, Entebbe. For the past 18 years, she has worked to generate income for the school and the local community. In 2019, an encounter with a bag of coffee sparked a vision: a sustainable coffee business that empowers Ugandan children through education. Today, that vision has come to life, and coffee is changing lives..
