NGUVU

Ugima Foundation is proud to partner with Nguvu, a danish coffee company committed to ethical sourcing and farmer empowerment. Through this collaboration, Nguvu is empowering 200 women coffee farmers in Meru with access to regenerative agriculture training, better and fairer returns for their hard work.
