We are fundraising for solar lighting units for Ugandan families at Mt Elgon, Agroforestry Community Co-operatives selling Jenipher’s Coffi.

(This fairly-traded coffee is imported into Bridgend, sold in SUSSED and served in One/Un, coffee bar Newton, Porthcawl).

Can you help the coffee farmers go solar, saving pollution and the environment?

Fabrics etc donations welcome in advance.

Our guests and volunteers recently met coffee producer, Jenipher, at our fairtrade coffee evening. She told us about the difficulties of coffee growing, made more so because of climate change, but also about the polluting kerosene lights that are used to light their homes. Though toxic for families and their children – she said they have no choice.

Jenipher started a pilot project with 5 farmers to trial the solar lights. They cost £20 and a total of 600 have been successfully donated so far. However, there are another 3000 farmers who still use kerosene and have no access to electricity.
